Controversy controversy controversy

Its every where I see. So many links that I lost count. Can you guess what is IT??

* Richard Monson-Haefel: It's too late to save Java EE (http://www.infoq.com/news/Java-EE-Demise-Report)
* Is Java EE's Complexity Its Worst Enemy?(http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3618166)
* The Beginning of the End for Java Starts(Date.Time.NOW()); (http://www.oreillynet.com/windows/blog/2006/07/the_beginning_of_the_end_for_j.html)
* Analysts see Java EE dying in an SOA world (http://searchwebservices.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid26_gci1198211,00.html)
* Analysts see Java EE dying in an SOA world (http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=41283)

Controversies are good sometime. Personally I don't believe that JEE dying. My 2 cents, 'May the best one win'. People!! you have much choices now then say couple of years back. Evaluate and find which one fits best to you. May you choose JEE over others. Complexities will be there with all the Enterprise level projects. There are lot other factors to consider. Resources involved, total cost of ownership, return of investment, maintainability etc etc.
