History of Java
James
Gosling initiated Java language project in June 1991 for use in one of his many
set-top box projects. The language, initially called ‘Oak’ after an oak tree
that stood outside Gosling's office, also went by the name ‘Green’ and ended up
later being renamed as Java, from a list of random words.
Sun
released the first public implementation as Java 1.0 in 1995. It promised Write
Once, Run Anywhere (WORA), providing no-cost run-times on popular
platforms.
On 13
November, 2006, Sun released much of Java as free and open source software
under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
On 8 May,
2007, Sun finished the process, making all of Java's core code free and
open-source, aside from a small portion of code to which Sun did not hold the
copyright.
