Mark Wielaard: New GPG key.
Finally created a new GPG key using gnupg. The old one was a DSA/1024 bits one and 8 years old. The new one is a RSA/2048 bits one. I will use the new one in the future to sign any release tarballs I might create. pub 2048R/57816A6A 2011-01-29 Key f...

Poll Result: Many Java EE 6 Enhancements Considered Significant
Voting in this past week's java.net poll did not reveal a strong consensus that one particular aspect of the Java EE 6 enhancements stands out in significance compared with other Java EE 6 enhancements. Exactly 300 votes were cast in the poll. Here are the results:
Which Java EE 6 enhancement is most significant?
7% (22 votes) - Profiles
5% (16 votes) - Pruning
28% (84 votes) - Contexts and Dependency Injection
11% (33 votes) - EJB 3.1
23% (68 votes) - Components: JAX-RS, Servlet 3.0, JPA 2.0

3% (8 votes) - Other

Indeed, in browsing the commentary about Java EE 6, you find different people focusing on different aspects of the newly approved platform. Pretty much no one (that I've read, anyway) thinks Java EE 6 is a step backward. Rather, it's seen as a major step forward for a variety of reasons.
Even in the JCP JSR #316 (Java EE 6) balloting, though some electors abstained (SAP and Intel) and one voted against approval (Apache), all agreed that, purely in terms of the technology, Java EE 6 was worthy of approval. As I noted in my post about the vote, "none of the members found the technical aspects of the specification to be lacking in critically important matters." Rather, the abstentions and "no" vote were related to disapproval ...
