I generally agree and it's ironic too since Java the platform was conceived with embedded programming as the target medium. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(software_platform) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(software_platform) It wasn't until the very end of the 90's when Enterprise Java came on the scene. So claim no. 9 was weakly founded in only about 1 year of history prior to the OP article. I still think of Java more as the SE version than the enterprise version.
