"Other vendors have ported earlier versions of Java to Linux, but Sun and Inprise hope to be the first to enable a Linux version of Java 2, which has the most potent capabilities for enterprise and e-commerce use. Inprise's Java development tool, JBuilder 3, requires Java 2 to run, and its application server requires a Java 2 development kit to be used."
