Java 2
- There is no such thing as Java 2.0 yet.
- The most recent version is 1.6. Java 1.2 contained significant changes to how graphical user interface elements are rendered in desktop applications with the addition of the Swing libraries (or Java Foundation Classes).
- Three days after they released this version as 1.2, Sun thought that the change was so significant that they should start referring to is as Java 2. But 1.2 already had a foothold in the market, so both names stuck. As a consequence, Java 2 still refers to subsequent releases, such as 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5. 1.6 so on.
