JWS
Java Web Start |
a winged coffee bean being launched by a spring. It suggests whimsically launching the Java app into the air, like launching a rocket. You might use the icon for the .jnlp extension. I use this icon to represent Java Web Start | |

JDK
Java Development Kit |
Sun’s public domain Duke chararacter dressed as a full-figured carpenter carrying a tool kit containing a saw. You might use the icon for the .java extension. I use this icon to represent the JDK. | |

JRE
Java Runtime Environment |
Sun’s public domain Duke chararacter as a runner, stripped down and lean, to suggest the bare essentials needed to run Java applications. He is wearing a yellow jersey, suggestive of the yellow jersey worn by the front runner in la Tour de France bicycle race. You might use the icon for the .class extension. I use this icon to represent the JRE. | |

woodpecker | Woodpecker. I am not sure what precise species this one is supposed to be.
It looks a bit like a golden fronted woodpecker. The image was only intended to
represent a generic woodpecker. Check out whatbird.com
search for excellent bird illustrations to help you identify species. I use this
icon to represent unmaintainable code.
If builders built buildings the way programmers write programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization. | |

blue whale | This is a blue whale, the largest animal that ever existed. I use this icon to represent animal rights. | |
