The focus of the venture is to facilitate closer integration between Sun's Java and SAP's NetWeaver services-oriented integration and application platform.

"We consider Java technology to be a core component of our strategy because of the momentum the Java technology community has in shaping an industry-wide standard platform for e-business applications," said Stephan Rossius, senior vice president of global partner management at SAP, in a statement:

Stuart Wells, senior vice president of Sun Microsystems' market development organisation, said: "We see the joint Java Technology Center as a means to enable SAP to build mission-critical applications ... with the SAP Web Application Server and Java technology at the heart of enterprise."
