Java Desktop System (JDS) is a desktop environment from Sun Microsystems, available for Solaris, and formerly Linux. JDS aims to provide a system familiar to the average computer user (meaning it looks similar to Microsoft Windows) with a full suite of office productivity software such as an office suite, a web browser, email, calendaring, and instant messaging. The name reflects Sun's intention to promote this as a venue for corporate users to deploy software written for the Java platform; it is built on top of GNOME and uses mainly free software.

Support for Linux was discontinued on 30 May 2006.[1] JDS 3 is included with Solaris 10 — upon installation of Solaris, one has the choice of using either the CDE or JDS. JDS Release 2 is also available atop a SuSE-based Linux distribution. JDS Release 3 is based on GNOME 2.6 and is only available for the Solaris 10 platform. Sun is currently deploying JDS 3 on all of its internal Solaris 10 desktops. JDS for OpenSolaris is sometimes called OpenSolaris Desktop. OpenSolaris Desktop 01 (released October 28, 2005) was based on GNOME 2.10 and OpenSolaris Desktop 02 (released December 23, 2005) is based on GNOME 2.12. See alsoReferences
