Sometimes I think Sun has 2 marketing departments that don't know
about each other.

Java2 AKA Java 2.0 began with 1.2 and includes 1.3, and 1.4. When they got to 1.5
they decided to call it 5.0. 

Since Java2 was so confusing, many have prefered the 1.x reference for
clarity. To be sure, go to their website and mouse over the "J2SE 5.0"
link. It points to http://java.sun./com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
