SYS-CON Media Announces Winners of the 2001 Java Developer's Journal Readers' Choice Awards -Oscars Of The Software Industry- At
More Than 40,000 JDJ Readers Cast Their Votes in 23 Product Categories to Select the Best Java Products of the Year

Montvale, NJ, September 24, 2001 - Java Developer's Journal (JDJ) (www.JavaDevelopersJournal.com), the world's leading Java resource, announced today the results of the Fourth Annual Readers' Choice Awards. Winners and finalists will be honored tonight at an awards ceremony held at SYS-CON Media's "JDJEdge 2001 - International Java Developer Conference & Expo" (Sept. 23-26) at the Hilton New York.

The JDJ Readers' Choice Awards program has become the most respected industry competition of its kind and is often referred to as the "Oscars of the software industry." Results of this year's voting will appear in the November 2001 issue of Java Developer's Journal.

The number of Java Developer's Journal readers who cast their votes this year doubled, to over 40,000. The total of award nominations also reached a new record high in 2001, with more than 180 companies nominating over 350 products in 23 different award categories. Seven new award categories, including "Best Wireless Java Application" and "Best XML Tool" were added this year.

"We were thrilled with the number of responses we received this year," said Alan Williamson, editor-in-chief of JDJ. "More products were nominated than ever before, and the participation in the voting process was vigorous throughout the five-month period."

Java Developer's Journal's Readers' Choice award recipients are selected through reader-submitted nominations, followed by online voting. An independent research firm managed the voting process.

Following is a list of companies and products that received awards:
