That's a rather large question. A good starting place is
http://java.sun.com. You aren't going to find a full list of the
advantages and disadvantages, though. Even neglecting cases where what
is an advantage in some cases may be neutral or even a disadvantage in
others, for something as complex as the whole Java platform new
advantages and disadvantages are found on a continuous basis!

Java2 is Sun's marketing name for everything they brought out after Java
1.1.8. Which happens to cover just about everything that Microsoft decided
not to implement during the past 6 years or so.

Java 1.1.x is pretty deprecated these days. If you look for the API on
Sun's web site, you see the following:
Sun is providing the products available below as a courtesy to developers
for problem resolution. The products available here have completed the Sun
EOL process and are no longer supported under standard support contracts.
These products are down-revision products that may have various bugs,
Y2000, and possibly security issues associated with them. Sun in no way
recommends these products be used in a live, production environment. Any

You somewhat behind the times Java 2 (a confusing name not used by
techies) came out years ago. I think it was when Collections came in.
I don't know how you would get much done without them. They have
become totally integral to my coding style. See

It was also the time Swing appeared. You can only create very Spartan
apps with the old AWT. If you want eye candy you need Swing.
