WikiProject Java is a Wikipedian community that aims to better organize information in articles related to Java and its components (programming languages, editions, tools, end-user software, people, companies, etc.). This page and its subpages contain a lot of suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help on occasions, see the to-do list there.

Background, scope and goals


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.

Current goals

"List/Tag/Assess/Write/Maintain", that's our motto here!...





Structure and participants


With the current limited number of participants, we do not seem to need a structure yet - everybody is equal here.

To add yourself to this WikiProject, put the Java userbox that will look something like this in your userpage by typing: {{Wikipedia:WikiProject_Java/Userbox}}

Articles


This is a collection of Java related articles, created or still redlink.
Please list all articles by putting the name of the article (including bracketed text).
This article list could be incomplete.
Please help adding to it.

This aims to be a complete article list of Java topics existing in Wikipedia:

  • The base list is the result of a Catscan extraction from October 5th, 2009;
  • Therefore, only new articles and existing articles recently categorized in a Java sub-category should be added here;
  • Also, red links (deleted articles) can be removed, as can be articles recategorized outside of Java scope;
  • Non-existing articles should be listed in Wikipedia:WikiProject_Java/List_of_article_requests, not here.

Things to keep in mind


There are a few things that you should try to keep in mind while editing Java articles.

Audience

One of the primary goals of this project is to make Java articles accessible, so you should make an effort to explain any jargon.

Conventions

References

Try to ensure that every Java article includes at least a few relevant references, and direct citations for anything that could be considered controversial. Wikipedia articles cannot be a substitute for a textbook (that is what Wikibooks is for), and references can give readers some idea of where they should go if they need more information than the article can provide. Just as important, providing further reading enables other editors to verify and to extend the given information, as well as to discuss the quality of a particular source.

You can find more information on citations and references, as well as several examples for how the cited literature should look, in the style guide on citations. Wikipedia's List of publications in computer science can be a good source of references and citations for Java articles, as can Citeseer and Google Scholar.
