Recalling from memory, back in early Solaris 10 days, Sun was in process of changing their Wallstreet/Stock symbol from SUNW to JAVA (08/23/2007). JavaDesktop was earlier then that, I believe it was just a marketing idea, changing the Stock symbol was just a continuation of that theme/idea. Solaris 10 or SXCE never had Java integrated into the desktop more than what is offered today with Opensolaris. Paul
