Here is our Java visitor stats, it is fresh from Google Analytics data 05 December 2008 – 05 January 2009

Java Visitors


and the corresponding Operating System (OS) stats

OS Visitors

Based on the above, Java 1.6_xx seems to have very nice grounds, and the Java 1.5 (9.36%) seems come from Mac OSX (12.90%), not set is probably from visitor who disable javascript (noscript).

The only things that puzzle me is the Java 1.8.0 (6.59%). Where does it come from or is there really a Java 1.8.0 ? If you know where this 1.8.0 come from, please do not hesitate to drop me a note.

    Java 1.8.0 represents Java6 under MacOSX. I is a bug in deployJava.js which Sun plans to fix.

    I suggest you regenerate your statistics using the newer script I posted at http://cowwoc.blogspot.com/2008/12/tracking-java-versions-using-google.html and exclude “(not set)” from your result-set by limited the dates making up your report.

    I can see that Java is very widely used. Do you have explanations on the methodologies used in the surveys?
