Talk:List of Java keywords

message: This page is a fairly handy resource, but I've noticed that such a thing doesn't exist for other programming languages (I'm particularly interested in C++, but I'm sure it would be very useful for other languages as well) and I was wondering if any of the programming wizards out there would be willing to make similar pages for other languages.
My advice would be to just created a "C++ keywords" page, and then wait for the wizards to come, and sho'nuff, they will add in all the details. Mzanime 05:44, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Might also try this at Wikiversity.  The computer science area is starting to get active.  I just completed some flashcards for java based on this file since I am studying Java.  Maybe some others  would flesh out C++ flashcard and transfer information this way.  71.161.0.110 03:59, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

message: What are the differences in term of their definition? I can see from the article that true, false and null are reserved words but not keywords.  What attribute of them separate them from "keywords"?

:owner is not a keyword. View this link.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.89.110.1 (talk) 12:28, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where is "owner"? 

message: The description given for class has to do with what "classes" are in general, not with the use of the class keyword.  A link to Class (computer science)#Java is fine, but this page is about keywords and should talk specifically about class as a keyword. 69.143.233.152 (talk) 01:40, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inadequate "class" description 

message: These primitive types are missing among the list of keywords. They are keywords, because one cannot name a variable "boolean" nor "byte" nor "char".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.255.120.162 (talk) 14:27, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

If you disagree with an edit you should address the editor.  Turn this into an edit war and I will appeal to an admin. 
Now, if you want to add a separate section to deal with Annotation Type, be my guest. IMO it does not belong in this article, but I don't think it merits a new article so I don't know where else you'd put it.

thread_title:  @interface is not a reserved keyword, any more than any other predefined annotation identifier.

thread_title:  Where is "var"  

message: The numbers don't add up. JLS says there are 51 keywords, to which are added the 3 literals and var.
