Wow, where did this one come from?! VMWare? And Spring?
I'm a big fan of Spring and the major impact they've had on the Java platform and Enterprise development in general. Rod Johnson's J2EE Development without EJB is still a good read five years later and Spring's response to EJB still reverberates today. I had no idea Spring was looking to be acquired. Wow, Oracle buys Java and now VMWare purchases Spring. What else is going to happen in 2009?!
The CNET editorial in the related links is a good read. The author mentions his previous hope that Red Hat would acquire SpringSource, but I don't think that ever was a viable option for Red Hat. Red Hat / JBoss's philosophy is very different from Spring's. Red Hat / JBoss pushes its own web framework (Seam) built on JSF & EJB 3 as well as its JBoss server while Spring pushes its own lightweight server and Spring MVC among other things. Also, a few years back there was that falling out between Spring and Hibernate with the latter later being purchased by JBoss.
