Deletion of JAR hell

I noticed that this paged had been marked for deletion, so I gave it a shot. My first contribution, so comments, etc., welcomed. DenaDweller 00:00, 18 November 2006 (UTC)lll

References?

It is not appropriate to link to one's own work, but here is a link that may be relevant to JAR hell case #3: It is US patent application number 20030167349, named Handling different service versions in a server. It's originally from around 1999, and if I remember correctly, there is a Finnish/European patent issued. -- Petri Krohn 23:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

In the EU there are no software patents. --80.99.1.94 (talk) 14:06, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, there are. Read the Wikipedia article on Software Patents#Europe, specifically:

Article 52 EPC excludes "programs for computers" from patentability (Art. 52(2)) to the extent that a patent application relates to a computer program "as such" (Art. 52(3)). This has been interpreted to mean that any invention which makes a non-obvious "technical contribution" or solves a "technical problem" in a non-obvious way is patentable even if that technical problem is solved by running a computer program.

JSR 277

Regarding the claim that Sun Microsystems has put development of JSR 277 on hold, this is the closest to an official announcement I can find: http://blogs.sun.com/mr/entry/jigsaw

Can somebody clean up / explain in a comprehensible way the cases of "Jar hell"?

"Adding the new library to the list of available libraries instead of replacing it, may see the application still behaving as though the old library is in use, which it may well be." What? 217.229.15.133 (talk) 13:59, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Reference to object should be changed

"Libraries can contain objects of different types. The most important type of object contained in a Jar file is a Java class."

It may be better to substitute 'object' with 'entity' to avoid confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.116.227.67 (talk) 10:24, 16 December 2011 (UTC) 1

Classloader subtype

I have just added the subtype of Classloader, later I will put more details about this. All are invited to put more information about classloader subtype. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 007arindam007 (talk • contribs) 06:40, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Clarify JAVA_HOME

This article currently uses the variable JAVA_HOME . What is meant with it? It is not clearly defined in the Java world (e.g. does it point to the JDK or the JRE). --Abdull (talk) 11:06, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
