Sun Microsystems will show off a new, simplified Java development tool next month intended to steal programmers from rival Microsoft's camp. Executives from Sun said Wednesday that the tool will be geared toward developers who are proficient with the Java language but are not trained in the most advanced capabilities in the Java specifications. As previously reported, Sun officials have said this simpler Java tool will be displayed at the company's JavaOne conference in San Francisco next month, in part to garner feedback from Java developers.
Sun's Java is employed in a broad range of applications, including complex systems such as financial programs that demand fast performance or e-commerce setups that deal with a high volume of data. The new tool will be appropriate for building relatively simple applications, such as those that might serve a single company department, executives said.
