java

Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented,^[14] and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA),^[15] meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation.^[16] Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless ofcomputer architecture. As of 2016, Java is one of the most popular programming languages in use,^[17]^[18]^[19]^[20] particularly for client-server web applications, with a reported 9 million developers.^[21] Java was originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which has since been acquired by Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++, but it has fewer low-level facilities than either of them.

As of 2015, only Java 8 is officially supported. Major release versions of Java, along with their release dates:

JDK 1.0 (January 23, 1996)^[38]
JDK 1.1 (February 19, 1997)
J2SE 1.2 (December 8, 1998)
J2SE 1.3 (May 8, 2000)
J2SE 1.4 (February 6, 2002)
J2SE 5.0 (September 30, 2004)
Java SE 6 (December 11, 2006)
Java SE 7 (July 28, 2011)
Java SE 8 (March 18, 2014)
Use outside of the Java platform
The Java programming language requires the presence of a software platform in order for compiled programs to be executed. Oracle supplies the Java platform for use with Java. The Android SDK, is an alternative software platform, used primarily for developing Android applications.
