Java

From GovITwiki

"The term ""Java"" can be applied to Sun Microsystems' Java platform or to its Java programming language. The Java platform include the Java Virtual Machine (JVM); which provides a uniform Java byte code emulator for Java's cross-platform runtime environment; the Java programming language; which provides a robust; object-oriented language for constructing Java components and applications; and the standard Java class library packages; which provide sets of reusable services that promote consistency among components and applications. The Java programming language is based on C and extends and complements the basic capabilities of Hypertext Markup Language. Java permits the creation of applications and application modules (called ""applets"") that run in the JVM on the browser."
