It is probably fair to say that Java SE 8 is the most important Java release in the last decade… if not more!

Java ME 8 is now here, just a short while after Java SE 8. From my personal experience many developers still strongly associate Java ME with feature phones and are far too quick to not pay enough attention to it. It is important to remember that Java ME is really about running Java on any small devices, not just feature phones. This means that Java ME can be hugely important for the emerging field of IoT (Internet of Things). In fact IoT is a major theme for this Java ME...

"The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today." (Elbert Hubbard) The clock is ticking... Java 8 is not that far anymore. The Adopt OpenJDK initiative is to OpenJDK, the Java SE Reference Implementation, what the Adopt-a-JSR initiative was to Java EE 7 / GlassFish 4 a few months ago.  The idea is the same, i.e. let people get familiar with the Reference Implementation and its different APIs before they are released. Let them play and stress test...

By now, most of us know about the Java SE security vulnerability that affects primarily Java Applets. You might be relieved to know that the latest Java update, Java 7 Update 21, looks to fix that vulnerability.
