This graphic illustrates the JDK naming history.

I like “JDK 6u5″ the best. The first number indicates API changes, the second number indicates implementation changes. The “JDK” lets you know this is the development kit, not the runtime environment. This is simple, concise, and easy to understand.

I think the 1.x.0_0y scheme is redundant and confusing because the “1″ and “0″ never change any more.

The whole “Java SE 6″ name just adds to the confusion. Nobody I know says that name out loud. It reminds me of the asinine commercials where the 5 year old kid is singing “I am stuck on Band Aid Brand”, as if a 5-year old would ever say “Band Aid Brand”.

This won’t take long.

Poor Andrew.
