'I'm very excited because I can see that with Jonathan, developer goal is the number one goal for Sun; Of course hardware and software is very important because that's where our revenue comes from, but I'm glad to see it looks like we'll have even more focus on developers,' said Thompson.

According to Thompson, Sun aimed to add a million developers last year and they are now at more than 900,000. However, whether they will be adding another million developers this year has yet to be planned, he said. 'It's really about increasing investment in some areas and in doing so, you may need to take investments from some areas,' said Thompson.
