Java is gaining a lot of importance these days. Java developers have plenty of options and features that they can capitalize on to create innovative Java development solutions. Java development is an integral part of more than 97% of the systems that use this technology to function smoothly. There are more than a billion number of downloads of Java applications each year. The Java developers are more than 9 million people worldwide. Among the programming languages it is the number one. There are 3 billion systems, which are powered by Java development. Oracle is consistently putting its efforts to advance Java development. Oracle is one of the leading hardware and software Systems Company.

Oracle has plans to launch the following

• The java SE 7 which is meant for the developers by the mid 2012

There are new certificate trainings for java SE 7.

 Oracle is however not satisfied with the Java SE 7, which is why it has planned for the Java SE 8 in 2013, which offers lot more features. The Java SE 8 helps in improving the productivity of the Java developers to a great extent and it offers a closure, which will give better leverage to the CPU.

For Java development applications, there is the Open JDK community, which gets most of its support for the Oracle and also from a lot of developers worldwide.
