Which version of Java should I learn?

Based on the direction that Interwoven is going with TeamSite/SitePublisher/Targeting, I feel like I should supplement my skill set by starting to learn Java. But in researching the training that's available to me, I'm confused about which version I should learn. Can anyone suggest which version of Java I should learn: J2SE 1.4, 5.0, 6.0 . . . ?

I would recommend the java version that came with TeamSite (6.7.2) which is:
java version "1.5.0_14"

when you run
iw-home/tools/java/bin/java -version

Hi,
As current version of Java is JDK1.6 it is called "Java SE 6", that is released in December 2006. But Teamsite is using Java JDK1.5 and it is called "J2SE 5.0".

Difference between both is not as much that will affect your learning. Basics are same, So you should go with J2SE 5.0 first and if you want enhance your knowledge then you can learn Java SE 6.

Thanks,

Thank you for explaining that! Being new to it all, I couldn't figure out how J2SE 5.0 or 6.0 correlated to the 1.5 or 1.6 numbers for the JDK. Much appreciated!
