Introduction
Java is a set of computer software and specifications developed by Sun Microsystems, which was later acquired by the Oracle Corporation, that provides a system for developing application software and deploying it in a cross-platform computing environment. The word "Java", refers to Java programming language that was designed for use with the Java Platform. The Java Platform is a "virtual machine" that executes Java bytecode programs. This bytecode is the same no matter what hardware or operating system the program is running on. [1]
Java is used in a wide variety of computing platforms from embedded devices and mobile phones to enterprise servers and supercomputers. Java applets, which are less common than standalone Java applications, run in secure, sandboxed environments to provide many features of native applications and can be embedded in HTML pages.
