Sun drops code names for Java products
Kids, say bye-bye to Dolphin. Say bye-bye to Mustang. From now on, forget about code names for Sun products. The company’s lawyers presumably want to avoid future litigation, so they’ve advised against using code names as a precaution.
Java 6.0 is now JDK6 instead of Mustang, and Java 7.0 will go by JDK7 instead of Dolphin. Before you read Jarda Kameník’s post JDK7 Is Here!, remember to shed a tear for the dolphin.
