4.2 Java

Java is an object oriented programming language with a syntax very similar to

C++. The intent of Java is to have a platform independent programming language, that is, Write-Once-Run-Anywhere. Java is supported on a wide range of

platforms including Windows, UNIX, Linux, and z/OS.

Java source code is compiled into bytecode, which is platform independent. Even though it is possible to compile the bytecode into a platform native executable, this is rarely used. The most common way to execute the bytecode

is to use a platform dependent Java runtime environment™, often referred to as the JRE™.
