[Maciej Zawadzki]

Hello Everyone,

The May meeting of the Cleveland JUG will be held tomorrow (Wednesday
5/9/07) at the usual place and time -- see http://www.clevelandjava.org
for the details.

Abstract
*JavaOne 2007 Update*
An update on the latest announcements from JavaOne 2007 in San Francisco.

*Java Technology Update*
We will review what's happening in the Java community and provide an
update on JSRs, Java 7 and more.

*SunSPOT*
Project SunSPOT (Small Programmable Object Technology) began at Sun Labs
in late 2003 as an exploration of wireless transducer technologies.  At
the center of the technology is the "Squawk VM" (a small J2ME virtual
machine) which provides the ability to run wireless transducer
applications "on the metal," saving overhead and improving performance.
 We will review the technology, tools, and practical applications plus
provide several demos.
