* Java managed to cover two problems plaguing the C/C++ world: [[complexity]] (C++) and [[memory management]] (C/C++). These two were real problems because projects plagued with bugs created by complexity and with memory leaks. [http://littletutorials.com/2008/05/28/13-reasons-java-die-old-age/]

The Java [[compiler]] provided by Sun Microsystems compiles Java code to bytecode, which requires the Java Virtual Machine (commonly referred to as a JVM) to execute. This model was adopted by Microsoft for [[C Sharp | C#]] and other [[.NET]] languages. [[IBM]] and others supply regular Java compilers for those who don't want to use the [[virtual machine]].

Java applications are popular in creating [[applets]] for websites, due to their cross-platform nature. It still has not gained widespread popularity in stand-alone Windows applications, but is used primarily on web servers.
