Java platform

    0.04 sec.

Java platform

Running Java programs under the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Java "platform" refers to the running of Java programs versus Java itself, which is a programming language. Java programs are machine independent and run intact on any hardware platform that has a Java interpreter (JVM). This "write once, run anywhere" concept is what makes Java so appealing.

Java has its own graphical user interface routines that are normally contained in the operating system. Since only a small OS is required to run the Java interpreter (JVM), Java is closer to its own complete operating environment than other programming languages, hence, "Java, the platform" is often heard.
