Java
     
         (After the Indonesian island, a
        source of {programming fluid}) A simple, {object-oriented},
        {distributed}, {interpreted}, robust, secure,
        {architecture-neutral}, {portable}, {multithreaded}, dynamic,
        buzzword-compliant, general-purpose programming language
        developed by {Sun Microsystems} in 1995(?).  Java supports
        programming for the {Internet} in the form of
        {platform}-independent Java "applets".
     
        Java is similar to {C++} without {operator overloading}
        (though it does have {method} overloading), without {multiple
        inheritance}, and extensive automatic {coercions}.  It has
        automatic {garbage collection}.
     
        Java programs can run stand-alone on small computers.  The
        {interpreter} and {class} support take about 40 kilobytes;
        adding the standard libraries and {thread} support
        (essentially a self-contained {microkernel}) adds an
        additional 175Kb.
     
        Java extends {C++}'s {object-oriented} facilities with those
        of {Objective C} for {dynamic method resolution}.
     
        Java has an extensive library of routines for {TCP/IP}
        {protocols} like {HTTP} and {FTP}.  Java applications can
        access objects across the {Internet} via {URL}s as easily as
        on the local {file system}.
     
        The Java compiler and {linker} both enforce {strong type
        checking} - procedures must be explicitly typed.  Java
        supports the creation of {virus}-free, tamper-free systems
        with {authentication} based on {public-key encryption}.
     
        The Java compiler generates an {architecture-neutral} {object
        file} executable on any processor supporting the Java {run-time
        system}.  The object code consists of {bytecode} instructions
        designed to be both easy to interpret on any machine and
        easily translated into {native} {machine code} at load time.
     
        The Java libraries provide portable interfaces.  For example,
        there is an abstract Window class and implementations of it
        for {Unix}, {Microsoft Windows} and the {Macintosh}.  The
        run-time system is written in {POSIX}-compliant {ANSI C}.  Java
        applets can be executed as attachments in {World-Wide Web}
        documents using either Sun's {HotJava} browser or {Netscape
        Navigator} version 2.0.
