Java's image may have taken a beating last year over security issues, but expect it to remain a critical platform for enterprise software development. This year, users can look forward to new versions of both enterprise and standard Java, which should serve to keep the platform current.

Java Development Kit 8, based on Java Platform, Standard Edition 8, will feature capabilities for Javascript programming and accommodations for multicore processors. Also due is Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 7, which promises easier use and new capabilities for HTML5 WebSocket communications and RESTful Web Services 2.0.
