Oracle's acquisition of Sun, and the lack of certainty about the direction of the new company, gave rise to mixed feelings on the show floor at the annual JavaOne developer conference this week.

Despite a 'business as usual' attitude from Sun, whispers about new commercial strategies for Java technologies were not hard to pick up. And although Sun openly addressed this issue with its launch of the Java Store application store and Java Warehouse developer portal, the longer-term future of the Java language and platform was still open to question for many.

ZDNet UK spoke to people on the show floor, to get their reaction to JavaOne and to find out what they make of Ellison's plans for Sun and Java.

The fact is: Software developers today are really designers and not coders. The reason that business anlaysts exist today to model solutions is because they understand the value of designing software before writing it. All too often developers create code that has little value because they do not understand that business classes interact with other classes within the confines of a working model or pattern.
