java.net is a Java technology related community website. It also offers a web-based source code repository for Java projects.
History
java.net was announced by Sun Microsystems during JavaOne 2003.[2][3]
In January, 2010, Oracle announced that it will migrate java.net portal to Project Kenai codebase, encouraging users to move their Kenai projects to java.net[4][5][6]
Javapedia
The Javapedia project was launched in June 2003[7][8] during the JavaOne developer conference. It is part of java.net.
The project aims at creating an online encyclopedia covering all aspects of the Java platform.[9] The Javapedia project is openly inspired by Wikipedia.[10]
The prominent differences between Wikipedia and Javapedia include feature restrictions (for example, editing is open to registered users only), software used (TWiki), links (CamelCase is used), and content licensing (Creative Commons 1.0 Attribution license).
