At the time the name was picked (around 1999) Apple was doing a big push to integrate Java into Yellow Box... including making many of the bundled apps in Java rather than Objective C (for example, TextEdit was done in Java in Yellow Box... though most Rhapsody users have all switch to an Objective C version
).
Java didn't exist in OPENSTEP or in the OpenStep APIs, which was one of the major changes Apple made when developing Yellow Box (and why it was renamed Cocoa as
