title: What is a vendor when talking about java?
body: <p>What is it exactly? The most information I could find this code (from <a href="http://sanjaal.com/java/tag/find-java-vendor/">http://sanjaal.com/java/tag/find-java-vendor/</a>)</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class GetJavaVersionAndVendor {
  
      public static void main(String args [])
      {
          String version=System.getProperty("java.version");
          String vendor=System.getProperty("java.vendor");
  
          System.out.println("Java Version Is: "+version);
          System.out.println("Java Vendor Is: "+vendor);
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This code gave me the name "Oracle Corporation" which I guess is the developer of the Java version I currently have installed.</p>
  
  <p>I also found out that the properties for listed as "Sun Microsystems Inc" have been rebranded to "Oracle Corporation". Thus, I make the assumption that this "vendor" has a property file. Is that correct?</p>
