How many java version today

I want to know that how many java version today.

How many there are? Depends on whether you only means specification versions or vendor versions.
There are five specification versions for the Standard Edition: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 5.0.
Among others, the following vendors produce toolsets and virtual machines: Sun, IBM, Compaq, Blackdown, Kaffe, the Technical University of Vienna, and many many more.

How about Java 2? This "2" is the version of Java or something else.

Java 2 is just 1.2 and upwards. With 1.2, Sun introduced a lot of new features (e.g. Swing became part of the core distribution), and they decided to call it Java 2 - but the actual version name was still 1.2.

No, there really is a 6.0 out or coming out sometime soon. That's what I was talking about.

I don't think it's gonna be out this year
Version 5 is good for the current time

A beta is scheduled for "soon" ;)

I expect release at around Christmas.

I'm not sure I look forward to it ;) My Java has already been getting rusty from learning c++, so when I go back to Java I'll have to relearn 5.0, possibly 6.0, a little multithreading and networking.

christmas is soon?

Anybody finds the release time please tell me

The beta comes soon. It's the final release I expect for Christmas.

I can't find any viable resources. I read some saying that the final release would be in the fall, while others say that only the beta will be released in November and in may 2007 the final release will be out.... There's no telling.

I always expect the worst so let the beta come on november
i'll be ready http://www.vbforums.com/images/ieimages/2006/01/1.gif

Not much new to learn in 6.0 though. It's mostly polishing.
