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.
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.
"List/Tag/Assess/Write/Maintain", that's our motto here!...
With the current limited number of participants, we do not seem to need a structure yet - everybody is equal here.

A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
There are a few things that you should try to keep in mind while editing Java articles.
One of the primary goals of this project is to make Java articles accessible, so you should make an effort to explain any jargon.
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.
