Java Versions


The Java team has tried to confuse us on version numbers. Fortunately, later versions names/numbers are a bit more logical (e.g. Java 11 is version number 11).

Java Versions
Name, Number
Java 71.7
Java 81.8 or 8
Java 99
Java 1010
Java 1111
Java 1212


For fun/interest only -- here is a snippet of an example Java configuration (for tool called Maven):

<properties>
	<java.version>11</java.version>
</properties>


classpath, WEB-INF, POM


A little info on the setup'y sort of things in Java

classpath
a collection of directory paths the java compiler (javac)
or runner (java) will search on for components e.g.
java "imports"

web app classpath:
WEB-INF/lib

eclipse "build path" is also a collection of paths, but in
this case they are used to build the application.

POM files
also paths used to build the application.
