Icon shown 128 × 128	Download	Purpose	Description
		JWS (Java Web Start) Java Web Start	a winged coffee bean being launched by a spring. It suggests whimsically launching the Java app into the air, like launching a rocket. You might use the icon for the .jnlp extension. I use this icon to represent Java Web Start
		JDK (Java Development Kit) JDK	Oracle’s public domain Duke character dressed as a full-figured carpenter carrying a tool kit containing a saw. You might use the icon for the .java extension. I use this icon to represent the JDK .
		JRE (Java Runtime Environment) JRE	Oracle’s public domain Duke character as a runner, stripped down and lean, to suggest the bare essentials needed to run Java applications. He is wearing a yellow jersey, suggestive of the yellow jersey worn by the front runner in la Tour de France bicycle race. You might use the icon for the .class extension. I use this icon to represent the JRE .
		woodpecker	Woodpecker. I am not sure what precise species this one is supposed to be. It looks a bit like a golden fronted woodpecker. The image was only intended to represent a generic woodpecker. Check out whatbird.com search for excellent bird illustrations to help you identify species. I use this icon to represent  unmaintainable code. If builders built buildings the way programmers write programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization. ~ Weinberg’s Second Law (1933-10-27 age:84)
		blue whale	This is a blue whale, the largest animal that ever existed. I use this icon to represent animal rights.
		tire swing	I use this icon to represent Swing GUI Components.
		giraffe	I use this icon to represent browsers.
