About the .java extension
Oracle Corporation runs .java, which went live in the root zone on Mar 3, 2015 (11.6 years ago). Its ICANN registry agreement was signed on Jun 19, 2014, 257 days before launch. .java is a brand TLD: under Specification 13 of its ICANN agreement, only Oracle Corporation and its affiliates can register names in it. That is why its domain count stays small and mostly reflects the company's own sites.
