The findings reveal that Java developers resort more to unmarked themes, simple themes and experiential themes in order to conctrue the experience in Java Library. It was also concluded from these findings that Java developers do not resort to marked themes, multiple themes, clausal themes, textual themes and interpersonal themes whenever they form constructs of Java Library in order to express content in it.
