What's wrong with JavaEE 6?

[ Thanks to smk for this link. ]

"Work on JSR-316 began in 2007 with a vote to start the engineering work that would formalize the final specification. The end result, JavaEE 6, introduces a number of new constructs to Java. Among those additions is the concept of profiles, which is intended to help make Java easier to use and more lightweight.

"Still, critics contend that developers want an even lighter-weight Java framework.

""There are moves in the right direction, such as the profile concept, but overall we're disappointed," JCP member and Spring Founder Rod Johnson told InternetNews.com. "We don't think it followed up on the initial goals that we had endorsed. Once more, we see unproven technologies being rushed into the platform, despite abundant proof that attempts to innovate by committee don't work. The smallest profile still contains more than most developers choose to use.""
