        Java versions.
        
           Java comes in frameworks:
           
           1) Core Java - Java Standard Edition (Java SE)
                       Java started out 20 years ago as Java 1.0
                         then we went to Java 1.1
                                              1.2
                                              ...
                                              1.8 (which is called Java 8)
                                              9
                                              10
                                              etc
             Java SE is updated every 6 months
             however there is a Long Term Support (LTS) version that IBM hosts on the Mainframe (MF)
             LTS are supported for at least 3 years
             
             IBM support Java SE 8, 11, 17, 21 (25 comes out in 2025)
             
             
            2) Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) (Server-Side Java)
                I do not install this Java on the computer, I get it when I install
                a Java Server
                
                IBM has WebSphere thier Java Server, there are open-source 
                Java Servers (Tomcat, JBoss, Glassfish)
                
                
           3) Java Mico Edition (Java ME), "small footprint Java" used for phones, tablets, etc
