'''JavaOne''' was an annual conference first organized in 1996 by [[Sun Microsystems]] to discuss [[Java (programming language)|Java]] technologies, primarily among Java developers. It was held in [[San Francisco, California]], typically running from a Monday to Thursday in Septembersummer months (early on) or Octoberin early fall months (later). Technical sessions and Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions on a variety of Java-related topics were held throughout the week.

The show was very popular; for the 1999 edition, there were 20,000 attendees at the [[Moscone Center]].<ref name="iw-1999">{{cite news | url=https://www.infoworld.com/article/2076471/what-sun-won-t-tell-you-about-javaone.html | title=What Sun won't tell you about JavaOne | author-first=Mariva H. | author-last=Aviram | magazine=InfoWorld | date=August 20, 1999}}</ref>

In 1999, the conference played host to an event called the [[Hackathon]], a challenge set by [[John Gage]]. Attendees were to write a program in Java for the new [[Palm V]] using the infrared port to communicate with other Palm users and register the device on the Internet.

For many years, the conference was hosted by Sun executive and Java evangelist [[John Gage]].<ref name="iw-1999"/>

During the 2008 conference, 70 [[Moscone Center]] staff members and three attendees were sickened by an outbreak of [[norovirus]].<ref>{{cite news | author=Gavin Clarke | title =Sick of JavaOne? - You will be: Suspected Norovirus stalks halls | url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/10/javaone_norovirus/ | publisher=[[The Register]] | date=May 10, 2008}}</ref>

After the [[Sun acquisition by Oracle|acquisition of Sun by Oracle Corporation]] in 2010, the conference was held concurrently with [[Oracle OpenWorld]]. The conference was moved from Moscone Center to hotels on nearby Mason Street. In some years, one block of Mason was closed and covered with a tent, which formed part of the conference venue.
