, typically running from a Monday to Thursday in summer months (early on) or in early fall months (later). Technical sessions and Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions on a variety of Java-related topics were held throughout the week.
The show was very popular; for the 1999 edition, there were 20,000 attendees at the
Moscone Center.
For many years, the conference was hosted by Sun executive and Java evangelist
John Gage.
In 1999, the conference played host to an event called the
Hackathon
A hackathon (also known as a hack day, hackfest, datathon or codefest; a portmanteau of hacking and marathon) is an event where people engage in rapid and collaborative engineering over a relatively short period of time such as 24 or 48 hours. Th ...
, a challenge set by Gage. Attendees were to write a program in Java for the new
Palm V using the infrared port to communicate with other Palm users and register the device on the Internet.
During the 2008 conference, seventy Moscone Center staff members and three attendees were sickened by an outbreak of
norovirus.
After the
acquisition of Sun by Oracle Corporation in 2010, the conference was held concurrently with Oracle OpenWorld. The conference was moved from Moscone Center to hotels on nearby Mason Street. In some years, one block of Mason was closed and covered with a tent, which formed part of the conference venue.
In April 2018, Oracle announced that the JavaOne conference would be discontinued, in favor of a more general programming conference called ''Oracle Code One''. The CodeOne conference ran for two years.
In March 2022, Oracle announced that JavaOne will return in October 2022, reclaiming the position the now defunct CodeOne conference once occupied. The conference has moved to Las Vegas from its original location in San Francisco.
