Question

What is actual reason for selecting a coffee cup sign for java ?????

Answer 1

The Dutch were the first to import COFFEE on a large scale, and they were among the first to defy the Arab prohibition on the exportation of plants or unroasted seeds when Pieter van den Broeck smuggled seedlings from Aden into Europe in 1616.[15] The Dutch later grew the crop in JAVA and Ceylon. The first exports of Indonesian coffee from JAVA to the Netherlands occurred in 1711.  Through the efforts of the British East India Company, coffee became popular in England as well. It was introduced in France in 1657, and in Austria and Poland after the 1683 Battle of Vienna, when coffee was captured from supplies of the defeated Turks.

That is the only connection between Java and Coffee that I know of. It must be it!

Answer 2

Java is a type of coffee exported from the Island of the same name. This is what the developers chose to call it as sort of a joke (like the programming language Python is actually named after Monty Python).

A quote from the official website reads 'The name was chosen during one of several brainstorming sessions held by the Java software team. We were aiming to come up with a name that evoked the essence of the technology -- liveliness, animation, speed, interactivity, and more. "Java" was chosen from among many, many suggestions. The name is not an acronym, but rather a reminder of that hot, aromatic stuff that many programmers like to drink lots of.'

Answer 3

Because one of the common meanings of the word Java is "A type of coffee".
