Javapedia

Javapedia, a project openly inspired by Wikipedia, aims at creating an online encyclopedia covering all aspects of the Java platform. The project was launched in June 2003 during the JavaOne[?] developer conference. It is part of java.net, a Web site promoted by Sun as the central meeting place for the Java community. Articles on Javapedia are written from a neutral point of view.

Differences from Wikipedia include:

• Other than browsing, many features are restricted to log-in users, including editing.
• Javapedia is based on the TWiki[?] software, while Wikipedia uses a custom Wiki software available on SourceForge.
• Articles on Javapedia use CamelCase, while free links are used on Wikipedia.
• All contents of the Javapedia are licensed under the Creative Commons License (Attribution License v1.0). The text on Wikipedia is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
