There have been two ( or possibly more ) revisions of the "Sun Certified Java Programmer" test. The older one covered Java up to ~1.1.8 while the newer covers Java versions 1.2 and up. The older version of this test is no longer offered, but a programmer who has passed it is still considered a SCJP. ( Certification does not expire when a new version comes out. )Usually, most people refer to either certification generically as "SCJP", while "SCJP2" specifically applies to the newer certification.

P.S. - Please refer to
the JavaRanch naming policy. You are required to register with a user name that consists of two words seperated by a space, preferably your real name ( obviously fake names are also not allowed ). So, even though "PANDORA" is a really cool name, if we allow it, it will open the box on no end of troubles.
However, if Pandora
is your real name, you are obviously cooler than me. Just slap your last name on there and you'll be ready. Thanks!
