{{About|the Java programming language||History of Java (disambiguation){{!}}History of Java}}
 
The [[Java (programming language)|Java language]] has undergone several changes since [[Java Development Kit|JDK]]&nbsp;1.0 as well as numerous additions of [[class (computer science)|classes]] and packages to the standard [[library (computer science)|library]]. Since J2SE&nbsp;1.4, the evolution of the Java language has been governed by the [[Java Community Process]] (JCP), which uses ''Java Specification Requests'' (JSRs) to propose and specify additions and changes to the [[Java (software platform)|Java platform]]. The language is specified by the ''Java Language Specification'' (JLS); changes to the JLS are managed under [http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=901 JSR&nbsp;901]. In September 2017, Mark Reinhold, chief Architectarchitect of the Java Platform, proposed to change the release train to "one feature release every six months" rather than the then-current two-year schedule.<ref name="6monthsReinhold">{{cite web| title=Moving Java Forward Faster | last=Reinhold | first=Mark | url=https://mreinhold.org/blog/forward-faster | date=2017-09-06 | access-date=2017-09-16}}</ref><ref name="6monthsServerSide">{{cite web| title=Calling 'all aboard' on the six-month Java release train |publisher=theserverside.com | url=http://www.theserverside.com/news/450426185/Calling-all-aboard-on-the-six-month-Java-release-train | date=2017-09-12 | access-date=2017-09-16}}</ref> This proposal took effect for all following versions, and is still the current release schedule.
 
In addition to the language changes, other changes have been made to the [[Java Class Library]] over the years, which has grown from a few hundred classes in JDK&nbsp;1.0 to over three thousand in J2SE&nbsp;5. Entire new [[API]]s, such as [[Swing (Java)|Swing]] and [[Java2D]], have been introduced, and many of the original JDK&nbsp;1.0 classes and methods have been [[deprecation|deprecated]], and very few APIs have been removed (at least one, for threading, in Java 22<ref name="removed_API_in Java_22" />). Some programs allow the conversion of Java programs from one version of the [[Java (software platform)|Java platform]] to an older one (for example Java&nbsp;5.0 backported to 1.4) (see [[Java backporting tools]]).
 
Regarding Oracle's [[Java Platform, Standard Edition|Java SE]] support roadmap,<ref name=oracle /> Java SE 2324 iswas the latest version in June 2025, while versions 21, 17, 11 and 8 arewere the currently supported [[long-term support]] (LTS) versions, where Oracle Customers will receive Oracle Premier Support. Oracle continues to release no-cost public Java 8 updates for development<ref name=oracle /> and personal use indefinitely. Oracle also continues to release no-cost public Java 17&nbsp;LTS updates for all users, including commercial and production use until September 2024.<ref name="nftc">{{Cite web|url=https://blogs.oracle.com/cloud-infrastructure/post/introducing-free-java-license|title=Introducing the Free Java License

In the case of [[OpenJDK]], both commercial long-term support and [[free software]] updates are available from multiple organizations in the broader [[OpenJDK#OpenJDK builds|community]].<ref name="OracleJava11LTS">{{cite web| title=What does LTS mean for OpenJDK? | last=Reinhold | first=Mark | url=https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2018-August/001824.html | date=2018-08-17 | access-date=2018-08-28}}</ref>

The release on December 8, 1998 and subsequent releases through J2SE&nbsp;5.0 were rebranded retrospectively '''Java&nbsp;2''' and the version name "J2SE" ([[Java Platform, Standard Edition|Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition]]) replaced JDK to distinguish the base platform from J2EE ([[Java Platform, Enterprise Edition|Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition]]) and J2ME ([[Java Platform, Micro Edition|Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition]]). This was a very significant release of Java as it tripled the size of the Java platform to 1520 classes in 59 packages.

Public support and security updates for Java 1.5 ended in November 2009. Paid security updates for Oracle customers ended in April 2015.

=== Versioning change ===
This version introduced a new versioning system for the Java language, although the old versioning system continued to be used for developer libraries:
{{QuoteBlockquote|text=Both version numbers "1.5.0" and "5.0" are used to identify this release of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition. Version "5.0" is the product version, while "1.5.0" is the developer version.

This correspondence continued through later releases (Java 6 = JDK 1.6, Java 7 = JDK 1.7, and so on).

After Java 6 release, Sun, and later Oracle, released several updates which, while not changing any public API, enhanced end-user usability or fixed bugs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/releasenotes-136954.html|title=Java SE 6 Update Release Notes|website=www.oracle.com}}</ref>

Both [[Jikes]] and [[Jikes RVM]] are open-source research projects that IBM developed.
 
Several other implementations exist that started as proprietary software, but are now open source. IBM initially developed [[OpenJ9]] as the proprietary J9,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://developer.ibm.com/javasdk/downloads/|title=Downloads – Overview|date=July 18, 2016}}</ref> but has since relicensed the project and donated it to the [[Eclipse Foundation]]. [[JRockit]] is a proprietary implementation that was acquired by Oracle and incorporated into subsequent OpenJDK versions.
