Is Oracle a Threat to Java

Oracle sues Google over the use of Java.

I really don't follow what is happening in the Java community. But, any IT woker on Wall Street knows that there are an awful lot of trading systems whose server-side processing is written in Java. Many of those system rely on open-source efforts that may eventually come under fire by Oracle.

Will this also affect alternate Java VM implementations that are used in trading systems?

Microsoft Drops Quadrant

http://www.infoq.com/news/2010/08/quadrant-drops

I have been considering asking my team to start exploring Oslo and M in order to create a DSL for automated testing of all of our systems, including the entire workflow for our Equity Derivatives traders. But, Microsoft's (non) strategy around Oslo, M, and Quadrant has me looking elsewhere .... back to the old standbys of Yacc/Lex or Antlr.

I have been out of the CEP business for the past year, but other than Matt Davey of 7-Squared using SI for a demo, has anybody else been exploring or using StreamInsight in Capital Markets?
