Too complicated
A SENIOR Burton Group pundit has claimed that the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition will be dead in the water in the next five years because it is too complicated.
Richard Monson-Haefel, senior analyst with the Burton Group, claims that in five years, Java EE will be the CORBA of the 21st Century.
In other words people will look at it and say it's had its time but nobody uses it any more.
Monson-Haefel has just released a report with the catchy title "JEE5: The Beginning of the End of Java EE",
here, where he describes Java EE as like a prehistoric animal that became extinct because it got too big to live off the available foliage.
He said it was too complex to be workable for enterprise developers, who are increasingly looking at alternatives such as Ruby-on-Rails.
Java as a programming language will still be around and will be the mainstay for most enterprise development for years to come he added. More
