New Java Platform Naming Scheme
Graham Hamilton's blog post Goodbye "J2SE", Hello "Java SE" explains Sun's new Java platform naming schemes. They've dropped the "2" and used Java rather than "J". So J2EE now becomes Java EE. I supposed that it's improvement; the "2" in the old names became pointless after a while. But the new names sound clunky when you say them. JavaEnterprise, JavaDesktop and JavaMicro would make more sense to me but all of those terms have already been used elsewhere. Oh well.
As long as they're making changes, Sun ought to consider renaming their annual Java conference as well. JavaOne? What's the One supposed to mean?
