Sun Microsystems, which has been pretty much silent in recent months while awaiting its merger with Oracle, will open up on Thursday about the latest developments in its Java technologies.

The company plans a teleconference with the media and analyst to discuss Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (EE) 6, and other software. The Java EE 6 specification was approved by the Java Community Process last week and Sun's implementation of the specification, the pre-eminent implementation of Java, is anticipated this month.

"Sun executives will provide in-depth details around the new releases of Java EE 6, Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3, and NetBeans 6.8. The call will also cover the larger significance of the three product announcements as well as how the new software releases will impact the worldwide Java community," according to Sun's media bulletin on Monday morning.
