Sun's open source boss slams App Engine's Java support
Google's decision to support only a subset of Java classes is 'wanton and irresponsible,' says Simon Phipps.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

What?
I'm not sure what he means by compatibility. From a developer/user of the system perspective the Java support is nothing short of awesome. They made it elegant, they made it simple. They went above and beyond (way way beyond -- I did NOT expect JDO and JPA support .. wow). GWT/appengine is a killer combination. I love it. Thank you Google.Its Java-in-a-sandbox!!!
I am glad Google is putting security first by removing classes that it does not yet know how to secure. Java in a sandbox is a promising toolset - if you need full Java, use EC2.my $.02
Compatibility still matters even if you don't understand it
Ian Schumacher: That's exactly the issue. Lots of kids like you don't understand the importance of "compatibility" - which is making sure the same Java classes are present anywhere something claims to be a Java platform.It was Sun's anal fixation with "compatibility" that made Java great in the first place, put it in every company and gave you a job. It's "why should we care" attitudes like Google's that will make your job harder by ensuring every "cloud" has a different subset of Java living in it.
It's the same "we're too big to be told what to do" attitude that made mobile Java the disaster it is - every phone company demanded the freedom to make their own APIs and Sun failed to keep them all under control, with the consequence that mobile Java is a nightmare of incompatible fragments.
open source
"the more open things get, the better it is"that is what I've been taught all the while and now this !?!!?!
Why not SUN?
Google is just doing what Sun should have done at most five years agoSince now Google AppEngine is supporting Java, we will see more cool Web 2 projects choosing Java instead of Ruby or PHP.
Because almost all hosting companies doesn’t provide cheap support for TOMCAT and JEE server. So, many projects begin small and cheap with PHP. So it's easier to start with low cost hostings and tools. After, it’s too late you are caught with your previous technological decisions.
