The History of Java: A Timeline

Subheading 1 Java is the brainchild of Java pioneer James Gosling. Java originated from his idea in graduate school – “Write Once, Run Anywhere”. After spending time at IBM, Gosling joined Sun Microsystems in 1984. In 1991, Gosling partnered with Sun colleagues, Michael Sheridan and Patrick Naughton on Project Green, to develop new technology for programming next-generation smart appliances. Gosling, Naughton, and Sheridan decided to develop the project based on certain rules.

They were specifically tied to performance, security, and functionality. Those rules were

that Java must be:

1. Secure and robust
2. High performance
3. Portable and architecture-neutral, which means it can run on any combination of software and hardware
4. Threaded, interpreted, and dynamic
5. Object-oriented Over time, the team added features and refinements that extended the heirloom of C++ and C, resulting in a new language called Oak, named after a tree outside Gosling’s office. After efforts to use Oak for interactive television failed to materialize, the technology was re-targeted for the world wide web. The team also began working on a web browser as a demonstration platform. Because of a trademark conflict, Oak was renamed, Java, and in 1995, Java 1.0a2, along with the browser, name HotJava, was released.

Subheading 4 Even though Java has an array of strengths, this imminent programming language still has it’s challenges:

• Not a Web Language – The amount of layers and tools, such as Struts, JPA, or JSP, that is needed to create web applications takes away from Java’s intentional design of ease of use. These additional frameworks have their own issues and are difficult to work within.
• Release Frequency – With each change in the runtime, developers must get up to speed causing internal delays. This is a nuisance for businesses concerned with security, since Java updates may cause temporary disruption and instability. Subheading 5 Java is not a legacy programming language, despite its long history. The robust use of Maven, the building tool for Java-based projects, debunks the theory that Java is outdated. Although there are a variety of deployment tools on the market, Apache Maven has by far been one of the largest automation tools developers use to deploy software applications. With Oracle’s commitment to Java for the long haul, it’s not hard to see why Java will always be a part of programming languages for years to come and will remain as the choice programming language. Despite its areas for improvement, and threat from rival programming languages like .NET, Java is here to stay.
