[edit] Name of article

I understand there is some legal issues with usage of the word "Java" that some or most free Java developers are concerned about. Some editors seem to want this article to retain its former name Free Runtimes. There is several problems with this:

  • Obvious capitalisation problem (capital R), easily fixable
  • "Free runtimes" for what? Is it for .NET, for Perl, etc? No, it is for Java programs. The title should be more specific, which is hard if we cannot use Java. GNU Classpath itself dubs itself as "GNU Classpath, Essential Libraries for Java" [1], so what is the problem here?

we need to change the name of this article
why limitating ourselves to the runtimes,because java is a technology we must talk about all aspect of java and free software including :the software that are programed in hava and migrated to classpath and GJC,some of theses software include openoffice(after negociation :with the FSF,openoffice can now also run on a free java software platform) or Azureus
i propose(please add your own idea if you have some):
  • Java(Free Software)
  • Free Java Implementations

We must also present roughly java and how it is used such as in programs(=>GJC),javascript(=>runtime)... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.27.13.176 (talk • contribs).

Thanks for the thoughts. I do agree that restricting this article to runtimes only seems a bit arbitrary. I like the idea of renaming the article to "Free Java implementation" (note singular, not plural). However, until that is done, this article is still about free Java runtimes, so I removed the text you inserted about compilers and applications. Haakon 09:33, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

ok i rename to Free Java Implementations
if some person want to make an article that is only about Free java runtimes or he should integrate it inside the Free Java implementation or he should have an article with a lot more information that this one and add a link to his article inside The Free Java implementation
Here an exemple in the Linux Article:
