Java 1.5.0 Now Officially Java 5.0

Posted by timothy on from the these-version-numbers-you-could-leap-to dept.

Quantum Jim writes "In a move which out-does Netscape's one-version number skip and Winamp's two-numbers skip, Sun has announced that the upcoming Java2 release will be marketed as version 5.0, skipping three-and-a-half numbers. Can version 6.022E23 be far behind? Thanks to David Flanagan for the heads-up."

    No, it's not. It's relevant to marketing.
