1. The first version

The JavaOne International Conference Hall in 2000 was very busy, and the strong smell of coffee was fragrant. The Java elites who gathered from all over the world to attend the conference in San Francisco were extremely excited and lined up in a long line, waiting to get a cup of free coffee brewed by a coffee machine controlled by the Java language. This is a specially designed fully transparent coffee machine. When you press the button, coffee beans are transported from the glass tube to the grinder. The ground coffee powder is sent to the brewing machine through another glass tube. Boiling water drips into the coffee powder, and a cup of mellow coffee is delivered to your hands... This shows that JAVA and coffee have an indissoluble bond.

2. The second version

The language originally designed for TV set-top boxes has been called the Green project within the company. "Our new language needs a name." James Guslin has been thinking about this problem. One day, James Guslin noticed a dense oak tree outside his office, a tree very common in Silicon Valley. So he named this new language Oak. But Oak is the name of another registered company. This name can no longer be used. Registering a product's name through formal procedures would be time-consuming and expensive. James Guslin decided to hire a naming consultant through the marketing department to hold a naming solicitation meeting. At that time, they had to postpone the launch of the language because there was no suitable name. At the naming gathering, many names were proposed. Finally, according to everyone's selection order, a dozen names were arranged into a table and reported to the trademark lawyer. Number one on the list is Silk. Although everyone liked the name, James Guslin strongly opposed it and gave up. Neither the second nor the third person passed the lawyer test. James Guslin's favorite is Lyric (lyric poetry), which ranks third. Only the fourth-placed name was approved by everyone and approved by lawyers. The name is Java.

3. The third version

There is also a saying that Mark Opal was inspired when he tasted coffee with his colleagues in a coffee shop. Java is the English name of the Indonesian island of Java, famous for its coffee. Many coffee shops abroad use Java in their names or promotions to highlight the quality of their coffee.

Many library class names in the Java language are mostly related to coffee. JavaBeans (coffee beans), NetBeans (network beans) and ObjectBeans (object beans) and so on. From then on, Java, a programming language that is easy to listen to, easy to remember, and has strong vitality, was born.

Which version is more convincing to you? Today, Java still has huge potential in the industry. Let us learn together, communicate together, grow together, and work together to develop and expand this powerful programming language.
