Spin doctors at Sun Microsystems, BEA Systems and Oracle are telling us this week that the formation of the Java Tools Community organization should help provide for a smoother path to interoperability between Java tools.So now, we can add this organization, JTC for short, to the list of industry organizations or industry efforts that are supposed to be improving Java. Also on this list are the Java Community Process (JCP), for standardizing Java technologies, and the Eclipse Consortium, which provides open source Java tools.Developers, not to mention journalists, must have their heads spinning trying to decipher the differences between these three outfits. Evidence of the confusion was witnessed during a press conference call Tuesday, when it was noted that a perception exists, incorrectly, that Eclipse is working on its own variation of Java. In addition to tracking these three groups, developers must have their hands full keeping tabs on other organizations as well, such as the W3C, OASIS, WS-I, etc.Perhaps instead of forming yet another industry organization, Sun should have hopped onboard Eclipse and worked with IBM to meet the goals now being pursued by the JTC. But we all know these guys often can’t find a way to work together. Maybe another organization is needed just to help developers and the IT community at large be clear on the differences between this multitude of industry organizations. Technology Industry
