Tools for Java EE 7: Evolution or Revolution?

In many ways, Java EE 7 is certainly an evolutionary revision of the Java EE platform, delivering incremental improvements of existing technologies and standards. However, some aspects of the platform are, in a subtle way, rather revolutionary. Together with the advances of client-side Web technologies—such as HTML5, CSS3, WebSocket, and JavaScript libraries and frameworks—Java EE 7 will accelerate the transition to a new breed of applications in which the client side completely drives the user interface. Going forward, tools will play a crucial role in this transition. This BOF discusses how Java EE 7 will enable incremental improvements of existing tools as well as the development of new tools that support the new application model.
