• Persistency, CORBA:
  • JDBC - Oracle, Informix, Sybase,...
  • Java Objects connected to streams -> migration, persistence
  • JOE - access to/from Java Objects
  • HORB - distributed applications
  • Other protocols (besides HTTP) possible
• Optimalisation of VM -> 3x faster
• JIT - real compiler (no bytecode) - really soon
• Netscape + runtime library = compiler to bytecode - alreday for Linux
• Java embeded in OS - soon in AIX
• Java Workshop - development environment:
  • still slow
  • GUI builder in May
  • final release (with debugger) in August
• NetRexx - Java + Rexx:
  • design for users, not for compilers
  • NetRexx = OORexx
  • Translator NetRexx -> Java
  • NetRexx Objects can call Java Objects and vice-versa
• HotJava written in Java+HTML => customisable, runs everywhere
• Java Objects can run on the Server side => can be sent from Client to Server - already in Netscape Server
• Java3D - 3D API in Java - Applets can create VRML Objects
