This article has a section on 'editions' (SE, ME, etc). But nothing on the differences between versions. Java 1.7 (and 1.8, though not yet finalized) is in some ways quite a different languages from 1.0. Does anyone think there ought to be a 'Versions' section with brief notes on the main changes (or perhaps just the language changes) in each version? These could include links to information on the relevant topic elsewhere on WP.
The term "API" is used more than 20 times in this article without being defined. I had to take the time to look it up. Where do I send my bill for that time? I know I sound like a curmudgeon. I HOPE I sound like a curmudgeon. But use of a technical term 20 times without spelling it out is just BAD. If the text is blue-hot-linked to the article for "API", it's not the FIRST mention. (I would like to question why Wikipedia won't hot-link EVERY mention of Abe Lincoln in an article where Abe Lincoln is mentioned. Why should the researcher who doesn't have time to read the ENTIRE article have to find ONE PARTICULAR instance of "Abe Lincoln", instead of the instance of "Abe Lincoln" in front of their nose, to hop to that article?) Can we even trust that the people who wrote this article KNOW what "API" stands for? Don't laugh. Someone once confessed to writing about "the FBI" without knowing what "F.B.I." stands for, just as one may write about The Pentagon's activities without know what city it's located in. 2600:1700:6759:B000:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 ( talk) 03:53, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson
In the lead section, the phrase "As of 2019, Java was one of the most popular programming languages in use according to GitHub," has a {{ Citation not found}}. The easiest solution is to change 2019 to 2018 (because someone randomly changed that), and in the second reference - Business Insider, change the "url-status=live" to say "dead" or change the URL from .de to .com. Perhaps a better solution is to change 2019 to 2022, and use this URL instead. -- 2001:1C06:19CA:D600:5A89:D6B7:93FF:5911 ( talk) 17:25, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Since the statement is outdated in any case, please update it to: Java was the leading programming language in 2018 in terms of available engineers, learning resources and vendor support,(Wired source) although the 2020s saw it displaced by Python.

Please add the page "List of Java Frameworks" to the "see also" section. 2003:C0:873B:8B00:E03F:D261:D63C:AB57 ( talk) 10:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Any background on the "mascot"? Who made it? What is it supposed to look like? Why "Duke"? -- BjKa ( talk) 11:51, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Ha
It's unfortunate that this was removed. While the syntax can be relocated to a different wiki page, I believe it's valuable to have a small example of a Java program here. 87.173.237.209 ( talk) 14:21, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
