J5EE …? JEE …? Need a better name than J2EE

by Priyatam

Are you tired of being called a Java Developer or a J2EE Developer?
Strange, how buzzwords end up becoming an essential noun in your technical life. J2EE, a.k.a Java “2″ Enterprise Environment has already become obsolete and the newer version 5.0 has grown increasingly popular in the last couple of years. However, the term J2EE remains as an anecdotal reference to the entire Enterprise Programming in Java , so much that people ask you – “Do you know J2EE?” rather than – “do you know JEE?”

Even consultants and recruiters alike, market profiles as “J2EE consultants” as if they have only worked with one framework and version (“2″) throughout their careers. Most developers today pretty much have experience with Struts, Spring, Hibernate, Ajax and a host of other smaller to larger framework APIs, a lot of them being open source. It’s surprising that the Java world hasn’t come up with an innovative name yet to call such a developer.

Here are a few suggestions: –
-JOS
(Java Open Source) Developer
-JEM (Java Enterprise Middleware) Developer
-JUI (Java UI) Developer
