24417 - Installer name for Java is confusing; change to "Java 2" or something similar

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect, P3)

Description

[ekrock's old account (dead)]

Commercial 2000011210 on WinNT 4.0 SP3.

In the Custom installer, the name we display for the Java Component is currently
something technical and confusing like "JDK 1.2.2." End users have no idea what
this means. The name should be changed to something simple and meaningful like
"Java 2" or "Java 2 Standard Edition."

If we are required for some reason to specify the exact JDK version number, that
should be in parenthesis after the simple, meaningful string that end users will
understand.

cc:ing Daren Connor and George Drapeau at Sun for their input on what naming
would be both understandable to users and consistent with versioning and
branding.

adding Michael LaGuardia to the CC: list (marketing).  Just let me know what the
description should be, and I can easily change it.

Hmmm.  I could have sworn that I already entered this on another bug.  Oh well.  
I think that we should use "Sun Java 2".

Reassigning back to Sean.
