Java Naming Reminder
At JavaOne, Sun Microsystems announced a new Java technology naming convention, whereby future versions of the platform will be called ?Java EE 5?, ?Java SE 6", and ?Java ME?. Since that time, there have been a few members of the Java community using ?JEE?, rather than ?Java EE?. We'd like to encourage you to spell out ?Java? in referring to versions of the platform -- especially in external communications, such as websites and blogs. Please take a few minutes to understand the reasons for the new naming schema, included in this article, plus links to an FAQ and a 1-page naming guide.
