The Java Warehouse is the repository for applications submitted by developers for distribution in the Java Store. The Java Warehouse is unique in that it facilitates the aggregation, management and distribution of Java applications across all the screens of a customer's life — browser, desktop, mobile, and TV. While Sun manages the desktop-focused Java Store, mobile and TV service providers can use the Java Warehouse to acquire high-quality applications for their existing, privately branded storefronts.
We want to hear from you
We're looking for developers who are willing to talk directly with our team, so we can better understand what works well and what needs to be improved. Send us your contact information, using our easy-to-use feedback form, and we'll get in touch with you.
Features
|
Visual tools: A visual representation shows you where your app is in the process, while
a high-level dashboard lets you manage your app submissions.
Web analytics: Sun will collect information about app usage. Initially, we'll tell you how many people downloaded your app, visited its detail page, are using it, removed it, and how often it is launched.
|
Discoverability: Sun plans to provide tools for consumers to sort apps by key terms, genre, popularity, and recommendations in upcoming versions of the Java Store.
Built-in libraries: The most popular Java and JavaFX libraries are part of the Java Store, so you don't have to upload them.
