They are apparently renaming the consumer release of the Java Runtime Environment to ‘Project Hamburg’.

Rich Burridge gives us some insight in this article as to why Sun thinks this is a good idea.

Apparently trademark considerations are one part behind this change and ‘Project + a location name’ seems to be good to avoid any legal clashes. Well i’d say at least it gives it some temporary ring to it. ;-)

Back in the days when this blog was still typo Rich Burridge wrote:

Note that we’ve been told the name will change (again) before the final release. This is just the name to use as it’s being developed.

Of course my response was:

Thanks to let us know Rich, i’d suggest Raktajino for the final name then. ;-)
