===May I try an overhaul here?===
Do any of you object if I try to overhaul and revise this article?  I would like to archive what's here so we can recover any of the text if we need, then begin again from the top.  I'd keep the "editions" section and expand it.  Let me know if anyone would rather do this themselves.  Java is an area I feel fairly comfortable in at the moment.[[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] 08:57, 20 April 2007 (CDT)


:This article is so small I do not see how there could be objections. Everything will remain in the history. An alternative is to userfy a draft then post a link to it.  [[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] 19:51, 20 April 2007 (CDT)
::Yes Pat please do... hack away. I'm not comfortable enough with the little bit of knowledge I have on Java to make any significant edits to it, however we <i>need</i> a good Java article on CZ [[User:Eric M Gearhart|Eric M Gearhart]]

Java terminology

I'd also think that the Java platform article would serve to cover all the different aspects of Java as an overview. Then the specific pieces of Java would be covered in detail either in sections or as separate articles. So in essence there would be:

  • Java platform, describing the platform as a whole. Servlets and applets could be covered here too possibly
    • Java programming language, describing the programming language in detail
    • Java Development Kit, describing the Java bytecode compiler
    • Java Runtime Environment, describing the end-user runtime environment that is distributed
