Versions?
editThis article has a section on 'editions' (SE, ME, etc). But nothing on the differences between versions. Java 1.7 (and 1.8, though not yet finalized) is in some ways quite a different languages from 1.0. Does anyone think there ought to be a 'Versions' section with brief notes on the main changes (or perhaps just the language changes) in each version? These could include links to information on the relevant topic elsewhere on WP.
List of Java Frameworks
editPlease add the page "List of Java Frameworks" to the "see also" section. 2003:C0:873B:8B00:E03F:D261:D63C:AB57 (talk) 10:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
Duke
editAny background on the "mascot"? Who made it? What is it supposed to look like? Why "Duke"? --BjKa (talk) 11:51, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Bring back the simple hello world program
editIt's unfortunate that this was removed. While the syntax can be relocated to a different wiki page, I believe it's valuable to have a small example of a Java program here. 87.173.237.209 (talk) 14:21, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
Coming in java 25 LTS (due 2025/09/16):
void main() {
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}

History
editThe article currently says Sun Microsystems released the first public implementation as Java 1.0 in 1996 yet the authority it cites says Since its announcement in May 1995, Java has been widely used. Therefore I am not sure when the first public implementation was released. Sam Tomato (talk) 05:18, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah, currently the history section and the date in the infobox disagree. We need to figure this out. PhotographyEdits (talk) 20:01, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
The announcement was in May 1995. And the public release was in 1996. There is no conflict? -- --2A10:BCC6:871:0:9F3:9B68:7E53:AAFF (talk) 11:02, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
