Java EE 6 Platform Draft Published 74

synodinos writes "The public draft of the Java EE 6 Platform specification has been published and will remain open for public review and feedback until the 23rd of Feb, 2009. Perhaps the most notable part of this delayed draft is the Web Profile, which is first profile in the history of the Java EE platform. The draft is available for download and contains both the Java EE 6 Spec and the Web Profile Spec. There is a poll running at java.net regarding what the community thinks about the new spec. Although participation is yet rather small the results tend to show that the released draft did not cause any excitement."

If the major goal of our culture is to allow big business to automate their programming needs and eliminate good programmers and their high salaries in order to cut the cost of doing business, then we should also take away tax cuts that are given to business. When you eliminate high salary jobs you are also eliminating the taxes the people would normally pay to help our society. More and more I see big business having their cake and eating it too. How many jobs does big business create here in the US after eliminating or offshoring jobs? I suspect hardly any at all, since their only goal is to lower their business cost.
