I don&#x27;t think Java was ever associated with the Oracle brand.  By the time Oracle acquired Sun, Java was already starting to slip away from being associated with Sun!  &quot;Java&quot; was only ever qualified when referring to third-party implementations:  you never heard &quot;Sun Java&quot;, but you&#x27;d sometimes hear &quot;IBM Java&quot;, etc.  &quot;Sun Java&quot; at some point became just &quot;Java&quot;.<p>Personally, as a Java developer from 2005-2012, I never associated Java with Oracle.  I can&#x27;t imagine that I&#x27;m the only one.  Even now, when I need a JRE or JVM, I navigate to <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;java.sun.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;java.sun.com&#x2F;</a> instead of wherever it is I&#x27;m supposed to go.
