==Java pages cleanup==
Given the recent change in the Java naming conventions [http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kgh/archive/2005/06/goodbye_j2se_he_1.html], the Java articles will need a cleanup, possibly including moves in a few cases and redirects put in the place of their current names. Sorry, I wasn't sure where to add this in the form of something like a VFD (and couldn't find it in the FAQ), so I figured here would be as good a start as any. [[User:Aidan W|aidan_walsh]]

Shouldn't there be a disambig statement at the top of the article for [[javascript]]? The javascript page mentions the differences in its first section. As a layman, it is pretty confusing to me since as I understand it, browsers can use both. [[User:Spalding|Spalding]] 13:50, July 10, 2005 (UTC)
:There is already a disambiguation at the top of [[Java programming language]]. I don't think there's need for one here. – [[User:Smyth|Smyth]]\[[User_talk:Smyth|<sup
::Wow, it's even worse than I thought then. I got to the page from a link using the word Java, so I didn't even notice this article is about a Java platform as opposed to the Java language. I now think the remedy is to put a wikilink to Java much higher up in the article than it currently is, so I will do that now. [[User:Spalding|Spalding]] 20:58, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

older than Java. Applets may the innovation but again as I mentioned - all
languages are evolutionary in nature
::I agree with all the comments above; Java is a highly successful language for a number of reasons, but there is a widespread tendency in discussions to give Sun credit for creating things from scratch that really existed before, whereas Sun gathered together a lot of great ideas into one platform and implemented them very well. This is in fact the status of most technological "innovations"--they build highly upon prerequisite experience from all sorts of arenas. Not to dampen anyone's enthusiasm for Java, but I think it important to maintain NPOV here.[[User:Harborsparrow|Harborsparrow]] 01:55, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

COMMENT on P2:
I felt this is weak and at least incomplete if not inaccurate. There have historically been many uses of virtual machines in software, including for example the p-code intermediate language used for Visual Basic for about 15 years before Java was ever conceived. I believe that the concept of a virtual machine is discussed elsewhere in Wikipedia and this information ought to be covered thoroughly there.[[User:Harborsparrow|Harborsparrow]] 15:04, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
== The Java Platform is the world's most broadly deployed open source software technology ==
Yeah? Are you sure about that? <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/24.67.213.211|24.67.213.211]] ([[User talk:24.67.213.211|talk]]) 07:09, 18 December 2006 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->deden?
== Merge ==
This and [[Java (Sun)]] cover much the same ground. The platform theoretically comprises everything touched by Java, so there's no reason to have a separate article for the term. There's currently a lot of duplication. [[User:Thumperward|Chris Cunningham]] 10:24, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
