Overview

Java: A simple, object-oriented, network-savvy, interpreted, robust, secure, architecture neutral, portable, high-performance, multithreaded, dynamic language.
The target of Java is to write a program once and then run this program on multiple operating systems.

The Java programming language consists out of a Java compiler, the Java virtual machine, and the Java class libraries. The Java virtual machine (JVM) is a software implementation of a computer that executes programs like a real machine.
The Java compiler translates Java coding into so-called byte-code. The Java virtual machine interprets this byte-code and runs the program.
The Java virtual machine is written specifically for a specific operating system.
The Java runtime environment (JRE) consists of the JVM and the Java class libraries.
