NEW YORK, Dec. 8 - Java Developer's Journal (JDJ), the premier print publication targeting Java development professionals, today recognized the industry-leading products that provide business solutions with Java.

The awards were given to the winners before a crowd gathered at the JDJ booth during the first day of the show.
Winners and finalists in 10 award categories were acknowledged for the contributions they made in developing Java-based solutions that respond to and meet the increasing demands of technology.
"Products that advance the age of Java technology are introduced every day," said Sean Rhody, editor-in-chief of Java Developer's Journal. "The tremendous amount of product nominations we received created a great challenge in choosing the winners of the Editor's Choice Awards. After a close review of all the nominations, products that offer significant advances in application development, database management and other related technologies were chosen as winners of the Editor's Choice Awards."

EDITOR'S CHOICE AWARD WINNING PRODUCTS JUDGING PROCESS: The editor-in-chief selected the winners by consulting with other JDJ editors to review nominations and make selections. The Editor's Choice Awards is based on the judgment of the editors, not on votes. It is also not based on product categories. If two of 10 products compete in the same category, both can win awards if they pursue unique approaches to a similar problem. There is also no rule that each category must have a winner.
