The Java Warehouse is the repository for Java and JavaFX applications submitted by developers for distribution through the Java Store to hundreds of millions of desktops worldwide. It comprises this developer information site and the Developer Portal.

The Java Warehouse Developer Portal is the developer-facing website where developers can register for the Java Warehouse Developer Program and submit their applications to the Java Warehouse for distribution in storefronts, such as the Java Store.

The Java Warehouse is initially targeted at Java and JavaFX applications meant to run on the desktop with initial distribution through the Java Store. In the future, the Java Warehouse wiill stock applications meant for Mobile, TV, and cross-screen applications. Future storefronts customized from the Java Store are planned to become available through partnerships, allowing for increased distribution of applications.

The Java Store is a consumer-focused storefront for distributing Java and JavaFX desktop applications. The Java Store lets consumers discover and safely acquire community-provided applications. The Java Store was built using JavaFX technology. Please visit the Java Store website for more information on the Java Store.
