{{Short description|List of versions of the Java programming language}}
{{About|the Java programming language||History of Java}}
The [[Java (programming language)|Java language]] has undergone several changes since [[Java Development Kit|JDK]] 1.0 as well as numerous additions of [[class (computer science)|classes]] and packages to the standard [[library (computer science)|library]]. Since J2SE 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 901]. In September 2017, Mark Reinhold, chief Architect 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.
