What are Java versions ?

A version is a number used to identify the current features and enhancements developed in that software. Every software is developed with versions. In software all projects and products are developed with versions. In most of the cases the version number starts with '1.0'.
Project is a software that is developed specific to one customer.Product is also a software that is developed common for all companies.The only difference we come across during the project testing and product testing is :

In project testing we go through the Alpha Testing, Beta Testing, User Acceptance testing whereas in product testing we don't have this.In Both Project and Product testing we have to perform the below test to make sure that application is properly developed WRT  requirements and meets the client expectation.
The test that are performed are
Unit test
Integration testing
System testing
Regression test
Retest 

Below are sample products with their version numbers.
