This article presents what is new in the Java EE 6.0 edition. There is lot of new activities in the JCP expert groups to add more valuable features in Java EE 6.0 version. Roberto Chinnici and Bill Shannon are Spec Leads for the JSR 316. For the past two releases of Java EE versions, sun is focusing on making the environment more easier for the developers instead of adding more new technologies. For example, EJB 2.x is more difficult for the developers particularly the Entity Beans part in the EJB, then it has simplified the EJB 3.0 programming model in Java EE 5.0 by extensive use of annotations and introduced JPA 1.0 to reduce the complexitiy on persistance layer. The same approach continues in the Java EE 6.0 version also, they define it in the two topics namingly Extensibility and Profiles. Writing about all the changes in one article would become lengthy, so we will see some of the notable changes in this article like Profiles, Modularity and focus on Web tier.
