What does JES stand for?

It is supposed to be based upon Sun's Java Embedded Server, although with Sun's recent re-focusing of its 'thin' Java efforts around Java Micro Edition - which is expected to subsume Embedded and Personal Java - the make up of OPS is currently unclear.

By running a Java Embedded Server (JES) on top of Wind River's PJava(TM) implementation, a customer could bring to market an OSGi gateway very quickly.

It didn't say whether or not it would license Sun's Java embedded server (of which the Gateway is a subset) or whether it will fully implement the specifications by year-end.

As for Java 2, the Java Embedded Server will be first out of the gate, supporting it by the end of this year.

Key to the delivery of many of these services is Sun's Java Embedded Server (JES), a small footprint application server that enables deployment of Java technology-based applications and services over the Internet, dynamically and securely, on a just-in-time basis.

Sun - which participated in the Requirements Working Group - has tried to head off the HP/Microsoft splinter group by getting its Java licensees to stand up and support its new Java Embedded Server (formerly the Nanoserver), and real-time API extensions, and by making noises about creating a process for developing real-time Java extensions in which the licensees could participate on a confidential basis.
