New Java Naming

What's New and When? It's very simple. With the new versions of the platform shipping early 2006, the Java name is losing the "2", and the "dot zero".

• J2SE 6.0 will become Java SE 6 (code name Mustang), and J2SE 7.0 will become Java SE 7 (code name Dolphin).
• J2EE 5.0 will become Java EE 5.
• J2ME has become Java ME as of June 2005, because it does not have a version number.
• Java Card is not affected by this name change.
