What Is Java?
Many people recognize the Java coffee cup logo, but have you ever wondered what Java exactly is? Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language. Java was created to facilitate communication between devices. Security is one hallmark of Java. Being available across different systems and networks is another highlight. Java is often used to make websites more dynamic and entertaining.
Did you know that over three billion devices run the Java programming language? The language is known for being versatile and secure. The creators of Java wanted a program that would be available on cross-platforms. Cross-platform applications are accessible on different types of computers and operating systems. The motto of Java is ‘Write Once, Run Anywhere.’
Java also helps makes websites more engaging. Java is used in many other technologies such as Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and cameras. Many online games use Java, too. Another way that Java stands out is with its cool name and logo. The steaming coffee cup logo is recognized by millions of people around the world.

In 1982, Sun Microsystems began with a handful of people. Later, the company became Oracle. They developed a programming language called Oak. Unfortunately, the name Oak was already taken by other companies. The company needed a new name for Oak right away.
Think about it. Have you ever had to name a pet or a child? Where do you begin? The team brainstormed for hours upon hours with no clear winners. In total desperation, someone randomly called out the name Java. Peet’s coffee was being consumed in large quantities at the time. Silk was another name that was being considered. The name is a pun on the Web. DNA was also a strong possibility. Yet, both Silk and DNA presented trademark issues. The name Java rose to the top. Java became a marketing dream. The name was lively, humorous, and memorable. The Java name was also broad. In this way, the name could be adapted to any future product changes.

⚠️ This project is now part of the EE4J initiative. This repository has been archived as all activities are now happening in the corresponding Eclipse repository. See here for the overall EE4J transition status.
This repository contains the source files that are used to build the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 8 Your First Cup: An Introduction to the Java EE Platform. The source files are authored in AsciiDoc. AsciiDoc is similar to original markdown but is particularly suited for user documentation. This project also uses JBake. JBake is a static site generator that is inspired from Jekyll and written in Java. JBake uses templates for the structure of the page and the body of the page is generated from AsciiDoc content.
Note that the First Cup Tutorial code examples are located in the javaee/firstcup-examples repository.
Contributing
The easiest way to contribute is by opening an issue that contains feedback and review comments. All issues will be addressed as soon as possible.
The First Cup Tutorial project is also open for contributions and your help is greatly appreciated. If you have an idea for the tutorial and want to add a section or update an existing section, then review the following links:

Building the First Cup Tutorial
The following directions explain how to do local builds of the tutorial. Note that any changes that are pushed to the master branch automatically trigger a build of the site files and tutorial sources. The results are automatically pushed to the gh-pages branch. You can view the published site at https://javaee.github.io/firstcup/.
Pre-Requisites
Note that manually deploying the site requires password-less authentication. This is done by exporting your SSH public key into your GitHub account.
Build the Site Locally
The site is generated under target/staging . Open file:///PATH_TO_PROJECT_DIR/target/staging in a browser to view the output.
mvn generate-resources You can also invoke the JBake plugin directly:
mvn jbake:build Rebuild the Site on Changes
The following command builds the site and, if kept running, detects changes to the sources and incrementally renders the site. This is convenient when writing content.
mvn jbake:watch Serve the Site locally
If a web server is required (for example, absolute paths are used), you can use the following command to start a Jetty web server at http://localhost:8820 . The command also watches for changes and rebuilds incrementally.
mvn jbake:serve Deploy the Site to Github Pages
If you want to manually push a build to the gh-pages branch, use:
mvn deploy -Ppublish-site Produce a Zip File for Download
To produce a zip file containing the generated HTML files, use:
mvn package When making a release on GitHub, this zip file should be added to the release.
