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™.
