Market penetration of Java as of now?

Hi,
For a study I am investigating the market penetration of the JRE for browsers. I've searched the web and could only find a report from Macromedia, stating that Java has a 85,6% market penetration. However this report is from 2006 and might not be that accurate. I was hoping someone could point me to an unbiased official (and hopefully objective) source which I can add in my report!
Thank you in advance!

Yes I am interested only in the browser market. Say I would launch an applet based on Java 6, how large would my user base be?
Also you make the statement that there almost always is a better web technology than using an applet. Could you please elaborate on that?
As far as I know Java's only way of serving a webbased rich internet application is via the use of an applet.
Ofcourse there is also Webstart but that's a framework which works outside the browser.
Also, on business computers that are shut tight on the priviledges department, installing a webstart app can be difficult.
An applet doesn't require installation, which is one of the major points my RIA-app must comply to.
Finally you could say Applets have a browser memory restriction and therefor aren't suitable but using jnlp you can assign memory usage as far as i know. Next to that update 10 allows you to set the memory heap from the applet-tag in your HTML, though its a stopgap measure.
If i sound offensive, that was not my intention. :)

    i updated to java 7 and now my yahoo games will not work, how do I fix this?

    kathieaross,
    click on the Java pane in System Preferences. When the Java Control Panel window opens, click on the Security tab, and set your Security Level to Medium — that will allow “untrusted” applications (i.e. those without certificates from a trusted authority) to run. Press the Apply button in the lower-right corner to confirm the change, then press the OK button to close the window.
    Apparently your Yahoo! card games don’t have certificates associated with them, which is why the default security setting of Java SE 7 Update 51 didn’t allow them to run.

  • Market penetration of version 2.6, 7, 8

    Hello, I am a Product Manager working to define requirements for an Enterprise application. I am looking for the market penetration of the various version of Solaris operating systems (version 2.6,7,8). I am told that 2.6 has the highest market penetration at this point? is this true and if so what are the rough percentages and adpotion rates of 7 and 8?. Any information would be helpful or sources where I could find the information.
    Thanks Ed

    Hi ,
    First check if the other OS are properly installed in the other partition. You can boot the system in 2.6 and mount the other partitions and see the directory structure. It is also good to use the same swap space for all the other OS.
    At the OBP, disk0 or disk5 are the alias name for the device names. Each of the partition has a device name. At the OBP the device name for the disk can be obtained from the command:
    ok>show-disks
    or
    ok>show-devs
    On an Ultra 2 it would look something like this:
    /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@0,0
    The partitions are represented as alphabets, where "a" would represent partition 0, "b" for partition 1
    so for the disk0 or the first disk and partition 4 would be:
    /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@0,0:e
    and partition 5 on disk1 or 2nd disk as:
    /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@1,0:f
    The device name can also be found by bootiing is Solaris 2.6 and using the command "format"
    If you want to give alias name for the different partitions at the OBP so that you do not have to write the whole path of the device again, you can use the command "nvalias" at OBP
    ok> nvalias <alias name> <the device path>
    eg.
    ok> nvalias sol8 /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@0,0:g
    Please refer to http://docs.sun.com for more details on these commands
    I hope that would help.

  • APEX market penetration & consulting market

    Have a search on Google and Jobserve for the various RIA, Java and web app frameworks as compared to APEX.
    http://tinyurl.com/37wswd
    Why do the RIA frameworks and Ruby on Rails garner such a buzz on the web?
    Why do the number of Spring/Hibernate dev positions outnumber APEX hundreds of times over?
    APEX is such a productive (cheap) development platform. Oracle has such a high penetration. Why isn't it being adopted more rapidly?

    - has no middle tierOnly of interest for the DB agnostic camp .
    - does not offer anything new in terms of technology,
    most of the technologies it is based on has been
    around for a whileFor the end user, maybe. For the developer who get's an integrated development environment I'd like to see some open source/closed source alternatives.
    - is not easily extensibleWhich one? The IDE or the applications built with APEX?
    Those points may not be disavantages per se, in fact
    I think some of them are the strenghts of Apex, but
    they do count when people decide on what tool to
    use.Usually people choose their tools on the size of their pockets and availability - otherwise why would there be so many PHP applications with a mysql backend.
    Don't get me wrong -- I think Apex is a great tool
    and platform to build high-quality and performant
    applications, but I think it has its niche market.Every new tool and technology has a startup phase - I think it's quite remarkable how far APEX already has come and how fast development on new releases of this products are being released.

  • Was asked to install Oracle Java 8 and now after LibreOffice asked for Apple Java 6

    Hello,
    a few weeks ago I was told by a webpage I need java, it was a movie site, so I was doubting it and so I went to the oracle page via google search and found Java 8 (jre 8u40-macosx-x64).
    Today I installed LibreOffice and after first opening ittold me, that I need Java 6 and asked, if I want to search for it. I let it search. There was not the usual browser window -like thing (which I guess is the App-store, where I am offered to upgrade to 10.10 for free and told that there are 4 incompatible updates for iLife products available). Instead it was just a small progress-bar window that had the title "apple software update" (or similar).
    I then quit it, because it was not making progress.
    Now I close LibreOffice and then thought "well lets install Java 6", but this time I was not asked to install it. Also "apple software update" doesn't offer it, when I launch the blue "A"-icon (i.e. Appstore?).
    What do I need? Should I delete Java 8? How do I get Java 6?
    I found this, but it doesn't help me: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-preferences.html and Apple Java Vs Oracle Java? Do I need both?
    THANKS!!!
    Machine: Mac Mini 2012, 10.9.5

    Thank you! In the meantime I found that item labeled as "2014-001" on the apple.support page.
    It mentions that it will remove all Java web applet and that there was a certain button one has to push to install it. I don't find the button "missing plugin" (well maybe that will come once it is needed?)
    Can Apple J6 and Oracle J8 coexist?
    From the fact that apple's J misses the web applet, I guess they will complement each other right?
    Also, am I right, that, if I go to Safari/Firefox -> Security I can disable Java for web stuff (but it will be still intact for Java applications like LibreOffice) and once I will encounter a webpage that wants Java, I will be told and can activate it in Safari/Firefox -> Security ? (Since I guess it is better to disable Java on the web???)
    Will the web sites always tell me, if they need Java or will pages not work and I will wonder why?

  • JAVA and MYSQL NOW() Function only displays year?

    I have run into something interesting with running the MYSQL NOW() function.
    Here is what I'm running:
    SELECT  NOW() from databaseThis gives me "2010" only. Any idea why this may be? If I run the same mysql query in mysql from the command line I get the correct output "2010-01-14 14:10:03".
    Has anyone else seen this behavior?

  • Converted WSDL into .java-files - and now?

    I should implement a client for an existing web service. All I have is a .wsdl-file of the web service to call.
    Therefore I used the eclipse's functionality to convert .wsdl into .java files, which generated some files for me, for example:
    - interface XXX extending java.rmi.Remote
    - interface XXXService extends javax.xml.rpc.Service
    - class XXXProxy implements XXX
    - class XXXServiceLocator extends org.apache.axis.client.Service
    - class XXXSoapBindingStub extends org.apache.axis.client.Stub implements XXX
    - class XXXRfcException extends org.apache.axis.AxisFault implements java.io.Serializable
    - class XXXRfcExceptions implements java.io.Serializable
    My question... what to do now? How can I get the service and call its functionality?
    Your help is really, REALLY appreciated...

    Hi,
    Write client application like below.
    public class Client{
    public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
    // Make a service
    XXXService service = new XXXServiceLocator();
    // Now use the service to get a stub which implements the SDI.
    AddressBook port = service.getAddressBook();
    // Make the actual call
    Address address = new Address(...);
    port.addEntry("Russell Butek", address);
    Thanks&Regards,

  • Codecs for the Java Media Framework now available

    Hi,
    Firstly, apologies for the "ad"...
    The "jffmpeg" project at sourceforge (of which I am a developer) is now producing a codec pack for JMF. This consists of a selection of pure Java codecs, and a JNI wrapper onto the native FFMPEG codecs.
    See http://jffmpeg.sourceforge.net/ for details.
    Please let me know if you find this useful.
    JonathanH

    Thanks a lot for your answer...!!!!
    I am not really a pro in codecs, and I think that it's the main problem. :p
    I want to find a solution (I have to ! ), but it's very difficult for me..
    For the mpeg2 Transport stream format : you've totally right !
    In the mpeg2 TS format, the main difference with standard mpeg2 is that there is a structure "packet by packet", with a given packet length (188 bytes)... Each packet has an header which gives some information as you've said : transport error bit, synchronisation bit, etc... (and to be true, I have some difficulties understand really what each packet contains... I've understood the IPB principle, but this format is not very clear for me...)
    How can I explain my program ? heu...
    after extracting datas (I work in real time), at time t, I have in a byte array many 188 bytes blocks
    (I store them in a big byte array in a Buffer)... What have I to do with it ? Now, my program reads each 188 bytes and when the time represented is > 100ms, I run the processor on it, and so the decoding process...
    Is my error here ? how have I to do ? is it really a problem of size ?
    I have transformed my program this morning so as to have datas incoming from a file (and not my peripherical) : so, now, in theory, I can read datas which are not mpeg2 ts. But I haven't made test yet...
    But, I suppose that I am going to have the same problems that I have already faced :
    if I try to take a large chunk of data, jmf generates an error (I supposed that it's because the videoformat definition doesn't correspond with what jmf is waiting for !):
    # An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
    # EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x0c307669, pid=2992, tid=2604
    # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.5.0_01-b08 mixed mode)
    # Problematic frame:
    # C [jmmpegv.dll+0x7669]
    # An error report file with more information is saved as hs_err_pid2992.log
    # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:
    # http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp
    the famous error that we often see on this forum....!
    And, if I take a little chunk, I have a ffmpeg error (I have understood now why... thanks to you)!
    And so, in decoder output, null length datas... logical !
    Maybe, I have an error in my program, but I really don't know where...
    I have an other problem... I would like to know if it is normal :
    I can't register (via jmregister) the NativeDecoder (but I can register NativeEncoder !)...
    It's quite strange... I've tried on 2 differents computers, and I have the same error "can't add item"..
    Why ? (windows xp - jmf 2.1.1e) jmf error or jffmpeg error or my error ?
    I have posted here because I have no guarantee that the problem comes from jffmpeg... I am a jmf newbie...
    The exception access violation error is quite surprising...
    I know that the format I use is not standart, but ... !!
    But, I am going to work again this afternoon, and then, I will post to jffmpeg development !
    If my problem can be solved, or if I can prevent other people to have the same problem, I will do !
    And if I found the solution to all my problems, I will post it ! :)

  • Accidentally denied a Java Applet and now it wont load whenever i click allow

    Hi Everyone,
    I had a moment when i clicked Deny on an applet and now whatever i do i cant get it to run.
    The applet came up with the message
    "An applet from "URL" is requesting access to your computer.
    The digital signature could not be verified.
    Allow / Deny "
    It has always come up with this and i have always allowed it and it has run no problem.  It is a VPN Dial in style applet to allow a remote connection to work based systems.  I have always run it on Safari after Firefox stopped letting it run and it has been fine.  But now it just attempts to connect for forever and never getting anywhere.
    I am running Mac OSX 10.6.8 with all updates completed.
    I have tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome and none will let it launch.
    I have reset Safari, cleared the Java Preferences Cache, looked for any exceptions but have been unable to find anything unusual.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks

    Hi akahn,
    Retaking the exam is between you and your professor, however for the page not letting you click on "stay on page" after two finger swiping.
    This is a javascript feature that the developer put into the page you were taking the test on. If you disable javascript however, the page may not continue to work. And this hack [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2083577] may break the functionality of the page as well. But for future situations disabling specific handlers may be a work around.
    I wonder if there is a temporary way to disable the two finger swipe for when you take the test, yep.
    The config entry is mentioned here: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/926002#answer-328219]
    Sorry about the test, hope it ends up well.

  • So Java 5 is now available?

    Apparently on the home page and download page it says:
    Download Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition 5.0 Beta 2
    Anthony

    What they've done now is to change the
    actual version numbers to better reflect reality. As
    long as they kept releasing 1.x versions, we could all
    wonder when (or if) they were going to make the big
    (and probably non-compatible) changes that were
    implicit in the jump to v2.0. Now we know that's
    never going to happen.You still have to wonder what version J3SE will be, I mean is J3SE more commonly known as Java 2.0? or will J3SE be Java 1.8?

  • I changed Java settings and now Firefox crashes as it opens, even in safe mode; how can I fix this?

    I was trying to change settings to access the comments section of Slate.com. Right or wrong, I changed a Java setting from -1 to 2. The setting was in about:config and I believe it involved some sort of max. As I cannot open anything, I am not sure.
    When I made the change, firefox crashed immediately, Every time I have tried to reopen, even in safe mode, it immediately crashes again and will not reopen.

    Hi pternagy,
    Sorry you are having problems.
    For future reference. Those of us that mess directly with about:config soon learn how to recover from mistakes and what it is sensible to backup. Occasionally backing up your entire profile for instance can be useful and would have probably given you a quick solution of copying over the file from that backup.
    *[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    Ok on to the subject of trying to get Firefox back as it was:
    Find your profile and the file ''prefs.js'' and rename that. (The renamed file is a potentially useful backup.) Firefox is then forced to regenerate the file and will reset your preferences to the default. You can then re open and use Firefox. Next try to get it back to normal.
    Trying to manually edit the file ''prefs.js'' is normally a bad idea. However if it is a single pref change it may be possible to directly edit the prefs.js file (whilst Firefox is closed) to get everything back to how it was before . You have the renamed file to work with. Probably best to test all this out in a new additional profile then you only break additional test profiles not working profiles essential to Firefox.
