Javas valodas un tās pamattehnoloģiju izstrādātāji
1. Java programmēšanas valodas tēvs
James Gosling, generally credited as the inventor of the Java
programming language in 1994. He created the original design of Java
and implemented its original compiler and virtual machine. For this
achievement he was elected to the United States National Academy of
Engineering. On April 2, 2010, he left Sun Microsystems which had
recently been acquired by the Oracle Corporation. Regarding why he left,
Gosling wrote on his blog that “Just about anything I could say that would
be accurate and honest would do more harm than good.”
2. Hibernate (object-relation mapping) izstrādātājs
Gavin King, is the founder of the Hibernate project, a popular
object/relational persistence solution for Java, and the creator of Seam,
an application framework for Java EE 5. Furthermore, he contributed
heavily to the design of EJB 3.0 and JPA.
3. Spring paketes izstrādātājs
Rod Johnson, is the founder of the Spring Framework, an open source
application framework for Java, Creator of Spring, CEO at
SpringSource. Furthermore, Rod’s best-selling Expert One-on-One J2EE
Design and Development (2002) was one of the most influential books
ever published on J2EE.
4. Struts paketes izstrādātājs
Craig Mcclanahan, creator of Struts, a popular open source MVC
framework for building Java-based web applications, which is
arguably that every Java developer know how to code Struts. With the
huge success of Struts in early day, it’s widely implemented in every
single of the old Java web application project.
5. JBoss paketes izstrādātājs
Marc Fleury, who founded JBoss in 2001, an open-source Java
application server, arguably the de facto standard for deploying
Java-based Web applications. Later he sold the JBoss to RedHat, and

Development software development methodologies. Furthermore, he and
Erich Gamma created JUnit, a simple testing framework, which turn

The combine of JUnit and Test Driven Development makes a big changed
on the way of coding Java, which causes many Java developers are not

8. Tomcat un Ant izstrādātājs
James Duncan Davidson, while he was software engineer at Sun
Microsystems (1997–2001), created Tomcat Java-based web server, still

which uses XML to describe the build process and its dependencies, which
is still the de facto standard for building Java-based Web applications.
