Sun Microsystems will introduce two licenses for using Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE), making access to the Java source code easier for developers. However, the company will not be creating an open-source license, as some in the developer community had hoped.

The new licenses are part a program codenamed "Project Peabody" that aims to attract more developer involvement in J2SE
