Increasingly, developers are logging on to java.net, the single place where they know they will find the latest information and the possibility for exchanges of information with peers that will enrich their development efforts using JavaTM technology. Sun reported that, during a recent 120-day period, more than 23,000 developers joined java.net in order to take advantage of its resources.

Corporations such as Nortel Networks, e-Horizon Technologies and BaseVoice are typical and frequent users of java.net in their respective efforts to develop code in the most efficient way and with their continuing contributions to Java Application Interfaces for Communications (JAINTM) specification and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

"Nortel Networks' Wireless Data Services team leverages java.net on a regular basis to download JAIN related TCKs (Technology Compatibility Kits) and specifications," said Paul Ensing, director of research and development, Wireless Data Services, Nortel Networks. "java.net provides convenient, reliable and immediate access to Java specifications, code base and toolkits for implementing and developing Wireless data services."

According to Brian O'Neill, vice president of Engineering, BaseVoice, "On java.net, the projects get thoroughly tested by a large community, which greatly decreased our engineering requirements and expedited our time-to-market. The community work on java.net and the JAIN APIs substantially decreased the development time required for our core product, BaseVoice CSP, a communications services platform based on SIP."

BaseVoice built its infrastructure with resources obtained from java.net, basing its solution on JAIN SIP API 1.1, which is the Java technology standard for VoIP solutions. BaseVoice's customers can now do real-time telephony over the Internet using a standards-based solution.

"The communications community on java.net is a great example of the increasing commitment to the Java ecosystem and its developer base," said Ingrid Van Den Hoogen, senior director, Java and Software Strategic Marketing, Sun. "Enterprises and developers need simple production quality solutions and java.net establishes a way for them to build applications that run anywhere, anytime."

Over the last four months, java.net has added over 60 Java technology based communities, including Games, Desktop, Communications, Web Services and XML and federated pre-existing communities including Jini, Project JXTA, NetBeans and the JAIN initiative. java.net has also become host to more than 300 technology and community-related weblogs and added 50 user groups from more than 15 countries.

Key telecommunications projects currently on java.net include:

• JAIN SIP, an open source SIP protocol stack with standard interfaces and the technology compatibility kit

• JJAIN SIP Presence Proxy, an open source proxy for lookup and setting up sessions and voice calls

• JSIP Communicator, an open source voice soft phone with built in media and instant messaging based on standards

• JJAIN SIP 3pcc, third-party call control based on JAIN SIP

• JMIM, Mobile Instant Messaging

• Jgjtapi, JTAPI and JAIN Call Control pluggable framework
