Linux and Java

Microsoft takes the advantage of its own environment (operating system), apple goes with its own chips, operating system and sofware that takes its power from underlying platform, google has its own operating system or chrome environment and goes. Now a days trent is software is powerful on its own platform and hardware is included to this concept.

Java never has its own platform because it was platform independent but over years show us without having a platform its impossible to get good performans and good looking interface.

What was the idea of java “write once, run any where”. Today we see a lot of api or programming tools that encourage us to program in a manner “write once, compile for any platform”.

If java wants to live while .Net is rising with having own environment, it must have its own environment. People do not want to install jre to run java programs. Java was the first and best virtualization solution on operating systems. Know a days cloud computing and virtualization take place every where. VMWare and other players are seen and heared on this new area but why not java cannot take the flag first in this field. Yes they have a vitualbox but it hasn’t succeeded yet. Java can run and be under an operating system and java can take the flag on virtualization on cloud computing and it can now has its own enviroment. Java has potential from its virtualization history. Didn’ t they say “network is computer” years and years ago.

Linux is really a good alternative to Microsoft Windows. Ubuntu really take the levels higher and higher. But still no big flash or success why I think main problem is linux file system. With that file system end users can’ t do match things and they will always worry or afraid from linux. I don’ t know is it possible or not but linux file system must change operating system not only build from file system. If it is not possible ubuntu or others must put a layer on it. We don’ t want to see var, root, etc these are really strange to end users. We only want to know where should I install my programs and where I can put my music files without having doubt.

So java can have its own environment with linux. We don’ t want to download and install jdk or jre, it must have own enviroment and jre or jdk must be embedded in it. We can made a linux with a different file system or available one can be put under one layer which is more friendly and straightforward and jdk with jre can be embedded into this operating system. Java can be more close to linux kernel and file system or system resources then java can use its advantages. Cloud will be a strong place for this new operating system and ofcourse for java which was created for network.
