A Stonebranch Tip
Changes in Sun's versioning scheme for Java has created some confusion.
With version 1.2 of the Java environment, Sun began referring to Java as Java 2. The formal name was actually Java 2 with SDK 1.2.
As of January 2008, version 1.6 is latest version of the Java environment - a newer version than the original Java 2.
