java.net was [1] a Java technology related community website. It also offered a web-based source code repository for Java projects. It was shut down in April 2017.
java.net was announced by Sun Microsystems during JavaOne 2003. [2] [3]
In January 2010, Oracle announced that it will migrate java.net portal to Project Kenai codebase, encouraging users to move their Kenai projects to java.net. [4] [5] [6]
In June 2016, Oracle announced that "the Java.net and Kenai.com forges will be going dark on April 28, 2017." [7]
The Javapedia project was launched in June 2003 during the JavaOne developer conference. [8] [9] It is part of java.net.
The project aims at creating an online encyclopedia covering all aspects of the Java platform. [10] The Javapedia project is openly inspired by Wikipedia. [11]
The prominent differences between Wikipedia and Javapedia include feature restrictions (for example, editing is open to registered users only), software used ( TWiki), links ( camelCase is used), and content licensing ( Creative Commons 1.0 Attribution license).
We're sorry the java.net site has closed. Most Open Source projects previously hosted on java.net have been relocated. Please contact the corresponding project administrator for relocation information.
Opening the show, Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW), the creator and leading advocate of Java, introduced new Java technologies; tools; communities including java.com for consumers, and java.net for developers
Our plan is to focus our efforts on Java.net as the hosted community of choice for Java developers. Thus, we are in the process of migrating the Java.net back end to the Kenai technology. This means that projects currently hosted on kenai.com will be migrated to Java.net
