James Gosling and a team at Sun Microsystems created a new programming language called Oak in 1990, which was later renamed to Java in 1995. In the early 1990s, the team developed applets that could run on web browsers to control home appliances from a handheld device, demonstrating Java's ability to run across different devices. Java established itself as both the main language for internet programming and a general purpose object-oriented language in 1996. Over the following years, Sun continued releasing updates to the Java Development Kit and platforms to expand its capabilities and standardize its use.

Year 1990 1991

Development Sun decided to developed special software that could be used for electronic devices. A project called Green Project created and head by James Gosling.

Explored possibility of using C++, with some updates announced a new language named Oak 1992 The team demonstrated the application of their new language to control a list of home appliances using a hand held device. 1993 The World Wide Web appeared on the Internet and transformed the text-based interface to a graphical rich environment. The team developed Web applets (tiny programs) that could run on all types of computers connected to the Internet. 1994 The team developed a new Web browser called Hot Java to locate and run Applets. HotJava gained instance success. 1995 Oak was renamed to Java, as it did not survive legal registration. Many companies such as Netscape and Microsoft announced their support for Java 1996 Java established itself as both 1. the language for Internet programming 2. a general purpose OO language. 1997- A class libraries, Community effort and standardization, Enterprise Java, Clustering, etc., Sun releases Java Development kit 1.1 (JDK 1.1) 1998 Sun releases Java 2 with version 1.2 of the Software Development kit (SDK 1.2) 1999 Sun releases Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) and Enterprise Edition (J2EE). 2000 J2SE with SDK 1.3 released 2002 J2SE with SDK 1.4 released 2004 J2SE with JDK 5.0 (instead of SDK 1.5) released. This is known as J2SE 5.0

Principles
There were five primary goals in the creation of the Java language: 1. It should be "simple, object-oriented and familiar" 2. It should be "robust and secure" 3. It should be "architecture-neutral and portable" 4. It should execute with "high performance" 5. It should be "interpreted, threaded, and dynamic"
