Netscape began developing their Java SDK in 1997 with the aquisition of the Kwan brothers' company (NCware). That aquisition brought a number of people with LDAP Java experience into the team. Amusingly, the press release for that event is still on the Netscape web site : http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/pr/newsrelease445.html
