I do not recall Sun being renamed into “Java”. It was acquired by Oracle as Sun Microsystems.

Sun changed its stock ticker from SUNW to JAVA. It never mattered for a dying company. Solaris packages were named SUNWxxxx, and was never renamed.

Correct, I recall the stock ticker symbol was renamed to JAVA, but not the company.

Yes I should have clarified that that was stock ticker (or found another actual example).
