JAVA- A language invented by Sun MicroSystems to enable applications to run a program on different systems. It enables the program to be run from a net server on a dumb terminal machine. The Java software is platform-independent, running on a Java Virtual Machine. This means that a Java application designed in Windows could run on a Mac, Windows, OS/2, SGI, Acorn, Amiga or any other system that ran a Java Virtual Machine.
