Sun Microsystems Inc. has announced plans to join the OpenAjax Alliance and the Dojo Foundation in an effort to influence emerging standards for AJaX and ensure the interoperability of tools that support the programming methodology. As part of the OpenAjax Alliance, Sun will work with 30 other companies to identify and consolidate best practices and reach a consensus on a reference implementation for tools interoperability. Sun said it will work to bolster the adoption of AJaX and refine its documentation at the Dojo Foundation, an organization that supports JavaScript programming Although the OpenAjax Alliance was formed earlier this year, Sun opted not to join until now because the company had trouble understanding the goals of the group and was initially concerned about the group's close ties with the Eclipse Foundation, company officials said. Sun has so far been shunning Eclipse, which fosters open-source development tools.
