Alright, So What Now?

Yeah, Sun Microsystems is gone. My Sun Microsystems stock (JAVA) has been turned into cash assets and I thought about buying some Oracle stock (ORCL). Why you ask? Well, maybe they know what they are doing. Maybe they can make some money with Java. As a developer should I care? I believe in what Java (the language) is/was and I believe in the Java platform. I believe in SpringSource, Apache, JBoss, Google and all the other incredible 3rd party organizations who are writing tools/solutions for the Java platform. So what now? What’s the score here? One side of me says, “…Boo hoo, I am going to miss Sun…”, while the other side of me says, “…I sometimes forgot they were even here…”. Maybe this is the fresh start Java needs?
