Wikipedia:WikiProject Java/Box scope

WikiProject Java should be a descendent project of WikiProject Computing (as are WikiProjects WikiProject Computer science, C++, Databases, Free Software, Internet, Linux and Macintosh) among others. It will then have the value of uncluttering WikiProject Programming languages... It was born on September 24, 2009 (through Alainr345).

This WikiProject aims primarily to provide readers of Wikipedia a clear and consistent reference for programming in Java and its platform. Java in this context refers to a number of computer software products and specifications from Sun Microsystems that together provide a system for developing application software and deploying it in a cross-platform environment.

The ultimate goal of this project is to provide a comprehensive guide to Java-related articles on Wikipedia.
