In 1990, Sun Microsystems began an internal project known as


the Green Project to work on a new technology.
In 1992, the Green Project was spun off and its interest directed
toward building highly interactive devices for the cable TV
industry. This failed to materialize.
In 1994, the focus of the original team was re-targeted, this time
to the use of Internet technology. A small web browser called
HotJava was written. Oak was renamed to Java after learning
that Oak had already been trademarked.
In 1995, Java was first publicly released.
In 1996, Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.0 was released.
In 2002, JDK 1.4 (codename Merlin) was released, the most
widely used version.
In 2004, JDK 5.0 (codename Tiger) was released, the latest
version.

A multi-platform, network-centric, objectoriented programming language


Multi-platform
It can run on almost any computer platform

Network-centric
Designed for building applications for the Internet

Object-oriented
It incorporates object-oriented programming model

A Java Platform is the set of APIs, class libraries, and other programs used
in developing Java programs for specific applications
There are 3 Java Platform Editions
1. Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE)
Core Java Platform targeting applications running on workstations
2. Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE)
Component-based approach to developing distributed, multi-tier
enterprise applications
3. Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME)
Targeted at small, stand-alone or connectable consumer and
embedded devices

Java Development Kit (JDK)


Is a set of Java tools for developing Java programs
Consists of Java API, Java Compiler, and JVM
Java Application Programming Interface (API)
Is prewritten code, organized into packages of similar topics
Java Virtual
Machine (JVM)
Is an
execution engine that
runs compiled Java
byte code

JDK
JRE
MyProgram.java
Java API
Java Virtual Machine
Hardware - Based Platform

A Java program is written

Source Code
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String args[ ]) {
System.out.println(Hello World!);

The program is compiled

A class file is produced


containing bytecodes

The bytecodes are


interpreted by the JVM

The JVM translates


bytecodes into native
machine code

}
}

Compiler

Class File
Bytecodes

Java Virtual Machine

Native Machine Code

Write Once, Run Anywhere

Java is portable and platform independent

Network-centric

Can work with resources across a network and multi-tier

architectures

Object-oriented

A Java program models a set of objects interacting with each

other

Robust

Strong type checking


Exception handling mechanism
Automatic memory management

Multithreaded

A Java application can run several different processes called

threads simultaneously

Security

Can download remote code over a network and run it in a

secure environment
Security levels and restrictions are highly configurable
