BEA partners to expand Java component market.  BEA Systems has partnered with ComponentSource, an online software exchange, in a bid to expand the market for prewritten Java components and make the development language more competitive with rival technologies from Microsoft. [InfoWorld: Top News]

This seems pointless.  With the number of quality open-source components available in the Java world, I can't see there ever being a significant market for Java components.  BEA seems to be betting on it, but Java is never going to be VB.

Languages for the JVM.

A great list of  Languages for the Java VM which includes over 160 entries. [James Strachan's Radio Weblog]

It's a shame Sun doesn't publicize these kinds of things.  Their policy of always equating the language with the VM is one of the major mistakes they have made in promoting java.  It should have been the Java Programming Language for the Something-Else Platform.
