Are Java Developers, Architects, and Technical Managers Becoming Java Dinosaurs?

[Ivan Garcia]

With the rapid evolution that Java and open source frameworks have made since the release of J2EE, enterprise Java IT seems to be producing too many Java dinosaurs. Developers, technical managers, or architects who no longer pursue their technical skills don't understand the evolution of JEE in comparison to J2EE, persistence frameworks, IOC frameworks, Web frameworks, or Web 2.0 and its effects on enterprise Java. Yet decisions are made based on out-of-date J2EE experience.

To understand this better, we need to understand relevance. Wikipedia defines relevance (the philosophical concept of relevance) as "a term used to describe how pertinent, connected, or applicable some information is to a given matter." We need to ask ourselves the following questions:

• Are we relevant?
• Do we need to be relevant?
• What are the implications of not being relevant?
• How do we stay relevant?
