Subject: Java Platform Naming Convention
To: SMI-JavaLicenseeEngineering 



Back in 2005, Sun Microsystems announced a new Java naming convention,
whereby future versions of the platform would be called
“Java EE 5,” “Java SE 6," and “Java ME.”

However, over the last year we have noticed that a few members of the
Java community are using “JEE” and "JME," rather than
“Java EE” and Java ME." Unfortunately "JEE" has different meanings that
are not associated with Java technology. For example, a Google search on
"JEE" returns topics unrelated to Java EE.

We'd like to encourage you to spell out “Java” - i.e. Java EE, Java SE,
and Java ME – especially in external communications, such as websites
and blogs.

Please take a few minutes to understand the reasons for the new naming
schema, which are spelled out in this article.

Also, take advantage of the resources available, including the FAQs, and
the 1-pager with the naming guidelines at the bottom of the page.

Thank you, Java community, for your support! Use the Java name and keep
growing your momentum.
