How to write my resume (for Java developer) ?

I am a new grad with a few years php/web development experience. All my Java experience comes from my course projects, or following examples from a few books. Here is part of my current (related with java)

Objective

Experience in open source software (Apache, Tomcat, MySQL, etc) development.

Much of my resume is about my php/web experience. It is not very related with Java, though.

Could you please give me some examples on how to modify my Java course projects from your view?

(I hope my course project title are pretty self-explainable)

as your light on for experience, what experience you do have would help but as I said, keep it simple and to the point.

In your profile summary list all the technologies you know and worked in java/j2ee. Give relevant experience also in java/j2ee.

In each project you have worked give the description of the project and also technologies you have used in java/j2ee with roles and responsibilities.

They are all tiny course projects. Some by myself, some by a team of students. I really do not know how to say, as they are really small projects.

Any "sample phase"?

Thanks

you don't need a phrase, just list the technologies

eg. php, smtp, pop
Java
Java

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
