J2SE was sdk right?
[257 byte] By [mnix_a] at [2007-10-2 19:02:06] 
Hey.Wasn't J2SE called a SDK before it was calleda JDK? Like for example) J2SE 1.4 SDK butnow for 1.5 it's called J2SE JDK.Was J2SE ever called a JDK before it was SDKand then Sun decided to change it back to JDK?
Dunno. Don't care. Sun was changing designations between 1.4 and 1.5. So it'S possible it was the J2SE 1.4 Java SDK and then the Java 5 JDK. Still, same thing, whether it's SDK or JDK.

I agree with you on that part.However, I may be tested on this.Seem as though, I have had twoteachers in the past.One says one thing and the othersaids something else. So, I needto get my facts straight...

Yes, when Java 2 came along (round about 1999?) the JDK was renamed to SDK.You're going to be tested on this sort of information? Hopefully you're taking a marketing course or something like that, and not a course that's trying to train developers.

- J2SE v 1.4.2_11 SDK - JDK 5.0 From the download page.By the way: I'm very sure that if your teacher is asking this, he's not worth his money and doesn't probably even teach you how to do good OO design when writing your Java programs. My sympathy.

No no. I asked the teachers
about it because sometimes
they give tests to see if you
understand what you are
using. Most of the time it's questions
to make a program. I just like
to know everything conceptually
and code wise. That's why, I regularly
get top marks. ;)
So, I jwant to know which releases
of J2SE did they decide to switch
between SDK and JDk.
Was it 1.3 they dicided to change
to SDK and then from 1.5 they
decided to change back to JDK.
BTW, I'm doing a course to learn Java,
so, I can become a programmer!

PS Without learningany other language before hand.This is my first language.So, please give me a break here.I'm trying to learn from this forums.I find these forums more reliable thanGoogle most of the time. :)

I manage to find information
from a person who worked
at Sun.
The guy says that Sun
released Java 1.2
then Sun changed it
three days after it was
released to J2SE 1.2.
They did the same
for J2SE 1.5 but renamed
it to Java 5.0 at the
Java conference.
Ah, I see why you guys
were accusing me of marketing
because they just changed the name
for marketing sake. Sheeze not my
fault they changed it for marketing.
There seems two names for Java.
Now, I need to figure out the real names
from the marketing names which should'nt be
too hard.

Seems,a lot of people thinks it's from 1.3 when it wasfrom 1.2 for sdk.That's why, I wasn't gettingreliable results from Google!

You could try getting reliable results from java.sun.com, especially the download area or the archives.

Excellent advice.>>You could try getting reliable results from java.sun.com, especially the >>download area or the archives.Thanks for the patience.site:java.sun.com java archives :)Meh: clicking searchbox on Sun site.

I didn't mean to give you a hard time, I was aiming at the hypothetical person who would make that required knowledge for a Java developer.
