It was originally supposed to be named Oak, but they found that a language with that name already existed, so they had to look for a different name.
The programming language known as Java was named "Oak" originally.
The language was initially called Oak after an oak tree that stood outside Gosling's office. Later the project went by the name Green and was finally renamed Java, from Java coffee, the coffee from Indonesia.
First when it was developed , it was named as Oak , then after sometime its name changed to Green , finally it is renamed as "Java" from Java Coffee . It is also said that a lot of this coffee was consumed by java creators at that time .
The Java Programming Language was originally named Oak because of an oak tree that stood outside one of the founders' office. It was then renamed to Green, and then renamed to Java because supposedly the creators of the Java Language consumed large amounts of Java coffee.
"Oak" was just a working project name used, supposedly named after an oak tree outside James Gosling's office window. When it was officially released, they didn't want to keep the current project name and chose to switch it to "Java".
the java language get it first name as OAK because of the oak tree in front of gosling's window in his office
Oak is now referred to as Java
Yes you should go with java, it is used much more than .net currently. Java gets its name from Sun Java how owns java. Before java was released to the public it was called oak because of an oak tree outside of the office of the person who created it. Some people think it got its current name because oak is not a good name for a language, and that it took lots of coffee (java) to make java.
The original plan was to call the Java language "Oak", but it turned out there already was a programming language of that name, so they changed the name. Java is of course unrelated to this other "Oak" language, the one that had already reserved the name.
The first name of the Java Programming was Oak. It then went by the game Green and finally Java from Java coffee.

Java isn't an acronym. Java was named after the coffee. I know it sounds lame, but its true, i learned it from a RELIABLE text book in school while taking a java/c++ class. the language was to be called Oak, but the creators realized the name was taken and after getting coffee they had the idea...sorry for the disappointment...good luck programming
