What would you name Java SE 8?
In "Tiger for 5, Mustang for 6, Dolphin for 7. What for 8?," Kirill Grouchnikov asks what suggestions you'd have for Java SE 8. There's already a name in mind at Sun, but what would you suggest?
Personally, I'm hoping for "Addax," but that's just me. What criteria would you use to decide on a name? Lastly, what features do you think Java SE 8 might have, or what will it look like?

What about "Whale"
I like to name it whale, since the JRE size as big as whale now, or dinasaurs.

Getting bigger...
I would go for Whale or Elephant, by that time we're certainly going to reach the half a gig download size.

I'm assuming there sticking to mammals (main release) as names!!!
I wander if I'll guess right ;) ... but I'd prob give it any of these:
- Panda - Orca - Ocelot - Lemur
Or by time Java SE 8 comes out they would have changed the naming convension:)

How about "Maggot"
Because Java will be dead and rotting long before then if Sun doesn't get their act together.
Remember who this is coming from before you flame me.
Long live Java.

Java SE 8 "The Grouchie!!"
I think octopus will be good, I recommend this very much, octopus has 8 legs.
Octopus symbolizes Failover ability, Extensibility, Power, Maneuverability and much more.

How about Monkey or Goat?
Intelligent yet with a charming tendency to fling their own dung. Much like humans in this respect.
Hey, how about a tastier animal in there. Give me something to really salivate over like goat! Nothing like an early morning goat burrito -- better than any coffee. Also, could be a sacrificial release kinda like Mustang seems to be from the specs. You know, to buy some time for the next releases feature set.
Or just start going through the chinese Zodiac and adopt whatever animal owns the year planned for shipment. If it slips over into the next year, you can always hyphenate upon shipment to the next appropriate animal.

Platypus
I know, the platypus isn't exactly a mammal, but it isn't exactly anything else. Come on, female platyus give milk to their offspring, this has to be good enough.
... and by the time Java 8 is released, I'm sure it will include as many different features as a platypus.

Wombat?
Actually, I was thinking of another marsupial: a wombat.
They're solid, tubby-looking animals with a surprising turn of speed (when required), and a cute, friendly demeanor.
Everything a good runtime environment should be ;-)

Puma
I thought of Whale and Platypus as well before I read the posting. I agree Octopus maybe the best for it though.
It must be market friendly name so it may be Puma, which is faster than a mustang.

It is going to be named as mammoth...
Going by the histroy of the java naming, one would definitely think of something wild and aggressive kind of beast yet stable and cool headed...and definitely it should retain its mark on the readers mind...
In my opinion, (not going for Godzilla :-)) mammoth is going to be the code name for java 8.

What would you name Java SE 8?
Apparently hardly anyone posting here (as well as on Kirill's blog) is aware of the fact that Sun uses mammal names as code names for major Java SE releases (and I doubt that they intend to change that). This would reduce the set of candidates mentioned here to less than two handful (of which mammoth would be my personal favorite, too - even though I doubt Sun would want to name their product after something extinct for ages).

What would you name Java SE 8?
Dragonfly was meant to be for JDK 1.5 (Java 5.1)...minor releases where named after insects between 1.2.* & 1.5.
My fav of the post are: - Hammerhead - Rhino - Orca (well that's mine)
http://java.sun.com/j2se/codenames.html
Besides there just code names to get the Java dev team inspired...etc. "Java" or "Java SE *" are strong enough names, albeit not that happy with the SE, there's nothing standard about Java!!! It's all powerful.
Good day all.

What about ZooT ?
The coolest muppet in the muppet show, Not only is Zoot a blue Muppet, but he plays the blues. Zoot is a member of Electric Mayhem and he likes to belt out some jazz and a little blues from his saxophone. Of course there could be some copyright problems, but i think Zoot represents the java hacker in my mind, respects to his business[music] and do the best he could do [not for money, man!] One more thing, the name Zoot sounds like ROOT[which means GOD in a unix environment] What do you think ?

Crocodile
Mamounth is good, and good logic for using that, but it does not keep growing.
All the CRUFT there (Metal, GridBag, COBRBA (yes, CORBA is in rt.jar, EJB)... I think *Crocodile*. We even have a song "Crocodile Love". Nice when it was small... but now it does not fit even in the pool, plus it scares people to deploy it. Once it makes it in RT.jar... it never gets marked for deprecation.
Unless they mark entire thing as deprecated and just start with Groovy+SWT, or maybe GTK#. Then they can call it Phoniex. (it was once dead) Light and fast to get things done is what I think I need in future.

Octopus, Peacock, or maybe Hydra ?
All of these things have a manyfold of something: the octopus has lots of tentacles, the peacock lots of decorative feathers, the hydra lots of venomous heads :-)
I guess Java is getting bigger and stretching it's tentacles over more and more domains, putting up more and more decorative feathers, and growing 2 more heads in place of one cut down ;-)
Cheers, Csaba.

Who cares about the names? What about the features.
I don't care about the name. I want features, updates to the language specs. E.g., -a proper implementation of generics w/o type erasure, which in IMHO was a big mistake, -proper design-by-contract, not the feeble assert. DBC should provide inheritable class/method signatures (see B.Meyer's book), -etc, etc.
