The project was led by Patrick Naughton , Mike Sheridan , James Gosling and Bill Joy , along with nine other programmers from Sun Microsystems . One result of this project was made ​​by the Duke mascot Joe Palrang .

Project meeting took place in an office building Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park . Around the summer of 1992 the project was closed by generating a Java program first Oak , which is intended as a hardware controller with touch screen technology (touch screen ) , as in today's PDAs . The new technology is called " * 7 " ( Seven Star ) .

Oak name , taken from an oak tree that grew in front of the workspace window " Father of Java " James Gosling . Oak 's name is not used for Java release version as a other software already registered with the trademark , so that the replacement name is " Java " . The name is taken from the ground pure coffee beans directly from ( brewed coffee ) A Gosling . It is said that this coffee comes from the island of Java . So the name of the Java programming language is nothing but derived from the Javanese (English for Java is Java ) .
