Line 6: 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 1.0 to over three thousand in J2SE 5. Entire new [[API]]s, such as [[Swing (Java)\|Swing]] and [[Java2D]], have been introduced, and many of the original JDK 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 5.0 backported to 1.4) (see [[Java backporting tools]]).
