As part of the O'Reilly Network, ONJava.com will be an advocate for open source software development in the Java community. The site will also cover open source Sun initiatives like the Jakarta and JXTA projects under the Apache open source license. The new site will also feature some of the best developers, analysts, and editors serving in an advisory capacity on our Editorial Advisory Board.
