No mention of anything mobile even though there are a few billion phones out there running Android with a huge app ecosystem of Java and Kotlin based stuff. Of course, that's a non Oracle flavor of Java as Sun sort of lost the plot on the J2ME front (another omission). J2ME was of course more successful than applets ever were until Android happened.

Listing Eclipse and Netbeans (1 bullet) before Intellij (arguably more popular than those two combined) is also a bit weird. In any case, Intellij has largely switched to Kotlin, which is of course a language Jetbrains, the creator of that IDE helped create to replace Java. So nice that they still get a mention. But really, that whole ecosystem is now powered by Kotlin more than Java.

Spring/Spring-boot is another painful one for Oracle because it largely sidelined J2EE related products and standardization. Tomcat and Jetty sort of survive as low level components you can optionally use to run that. The Spring ecosystem is shifting to Kotlin rapidly as well. As is Android, of course.

So, it's understandable why Oracle prefers to not talk about those because these are all examples of where Java was successful but Oracle/Sun wasn't.

However, as soon as they rolled JavaFX into the JDK I knew it would be a nightmare for me. Without author status in JBS you're relegated to being a second class citizen who has to submit bugs though the poor door (bugs.java.com) and JavaFX fixes couldn't be pushed out as quickly because of being tied to the JDK.

That was after years of broken promises about mobile which didn't help. They were also claiming to make massive investments in JavaFX, but if you HG churned the repo there were only a few developers doing all the work.

It's too bad because I really liked JavaFX. It was nice to develop with and I'm convinced that Oracle's mismanagement is the primary reason it wasn't more successful.
