Oracle to buy SUN Microsystems

On April 20, 2009, Sun and Oracle announced a definitive agreement under which Oracle will acquire Sun common stock for $9.50 per share in cash. The transaction is valued at approximately $7.4 billion, or $5.6 billion net of Sun's cash and debt. The proposed transaction is subject to Sun stockholder approval, certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Until the deal closes, each company will continue to operate independently, and it is business as usual.



J2SE is the Java 2 Standard Edition that contains your basic core Java classes. This is the one that most people use to write your standard applets and applications.

J2EE is the Java 2 Enterprise Edition and it contains classes that go above and beyond J2SE. In fact, you will need J2SE in order to use many of the classes in J2EE. Some of the things that J2EE provides are server-side classes such as Servlets and EJB's. It also contains Security API, Java Mail API, XML Parsers etc., Java Messaging Service API, and a few others. A few of these API's have been included in the new J2SE 1.4 version and are now considered standard. The XML API is an example of this.

J2ME is for developers that code to portable devices, such as a palm pilot or a cellular phone. Code on these devices needs to be small in size and take less memory. So you will want to use J2ME if you code for a PDA. The mobile and embedded Java platform (Java ME) was formerly known as Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME). The "2" has been dropped.

    The most unique feature of a new Lakeville car wash can't be seen by the naked eye. Green Planet Crash Wash appears tyypical: whirling brushes, soaps, a wax option. But similarities between Green Planet and a typical car wash stop when the water hits the car.
