Hi there,
in your opinion, which is the most popular program written in Java?

HelloWorld.


But which Version? There seems not be any "Hello World" program around
under the sourceforge top1000 programs..


As if SourceForge were the only way to distribute software. Unlike Perl
programmers, we Java programmers have the luxury of more than one source for
software. And I was speaking of all versions. I notice you don't bother to
limit your discussion of Azureus to only one version.

You have to include other modes of distribution, such as
<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/index.html>

It's so popular, it's distributed by Sun itself. They've even got separate
pages devoted to it according to your deployment environment.

And they aren't even the only ones. A Google for '+Java "Hello World"'
yielded 1,860,000 hits. Yes, '+Java Azureus' yielded more hits, but many of
them on the first page were discussion forum hits. The "Hello World"
front-page hits were all primary sources.

Anyway, the question was "in [our] opinion" what's most popular; the OP didn't
ask which one actually is.
