The JavaWorld Editors' Choice Award was presented to ObjectSpace for its industry-acclaimed Voyager distributed computing platform, and judges selected Voyager based on the following evaluation: "Voyager moves distributed computing for Java far beyond simple RMI (Remote Method Invocation) A standard from Sun for distributed objects written in Java. RMI is a remote procedure call (RPC), which allows Java objects (software components) stored in the network to be run remotely. .

Another JavaWorld Editors' Choice Award was given for JGL, winning for Java-class libraries. Judges in this category noted: "The original collections package for Java, ObjectSpace's JGL has defined what a full-featured collections API for Java could be. And by making the library easily available from their Web site at no charge, ObjectSpace has contributed to the good of Java as a whole." The JavaWorld awards process began back in September, with a distinguished panel of 21 judges who are expert Java developers and who have been working with Java since its inception. Judges participated in several rounds of votes and runoffs to determine which products and companies most deserved finalist status, and ultimately, which deserved to be selected as winners. Judges carefully weighed each product's features and functions, as well as the impact of each product, company and individual in advancing Java as a language and/or platform. Java Developer's Journal also honored superior Java products with its Editor's Choice Awards, in which ObjectSpace was honored, winning for JGL. To qualify for the award, products had to be directly related to Java, of interest to JDJ readers, and considered a new product (available less than two years).
