Technology: OS Rules Java Application Servers

By Dick Weisinger, on May 6th, 2008

Open Source Java Application Servers are dominating the market for Java Application Servers. While proprietary vendors like IBM, Oracle and BEA have wide acceptance, Open Source projects like Apache Tomcat, JBoss, Sun Java Enterprise System and Glassfish make up a significant chunk of the usage. Those are the findings of BZ Research, a division of BZ Media from a survey of Java developers.

Eclipse has a commanding lead among the IDEs that are used at 62.7%, followed by NetBeans with 24.4%, Oracle’s JDeveloper with 20.4% and IBM Rational Application Developer at 19.4%. Here again, Eclipse and Netbeans, the leaders are both Open Source, and Oracle’s JDeveloper is a free download.

The survey found that 74.1% of the developers were using Java to build server-side components, 51.8% said that they were using Java on client-side desktops and notebooks, 17.8% were bulding Java mobile applications, and 10.1% were using for embedded apps.
