Line 22: ==Origins== In 1994, a team of Oak/Java developers started writing WebRunner, which was a clone of the ~~internet~~web browser [[Mosaic browser\|Mosaic]]. It was based on the [[Java (programming language)\|Java]] programming language. The name ‘WebRunner’ was a tribute to the ''[[Blade Runner]]'' movie.<ref>{{cite web\|last=Byous\|first=Jon\|title=Java Technology: An Early History\|url=http://gcc.upb.de/www/WI/WI2/wi2_lit.nsf/7544f3043ee53927c12573e70058bbb6/abf8d70f07c12eb3c1256de900638899/$FILE/Java%20Technology%20-%20An%20early%20history.pdf\|publisher=[[Sun Microsystems]]\|access-date=November 24, 2010\|year=1998}}</ref> The official Java name was adopted a year later in 1995 when Sun decided to make Oak public and integrate it with the web. WebRunner's first public demonstration was given by [[John Gage]] and [[James Gosling]] at the [[Technology Entertainment Design]] Conference in [[Monterey, California]] in 1995. Renamed HotJava, it was officially announced in May the same year at the SunWorld conference.
