Java

Java was created in the early 1990s originally for embedded systems. It was designed with goals of being simple, secure, portable, robust, and object-oriented. The Java architecture involves writing Java source code, compiling it to bytecode, loading the bytecode using a class loader, verifying the bytecode is valid, and executing the bytecode using a Java Virtual Machine.

Evolution of Java
Key Founders
• Java was the brainchild of:
– James Gosling
– Patrick Naughton
– Chris Warth
– Ed Frank
– Frank Sheridan
The origin of Java can be traced back to the fall
of 1992, and was initially called Oak.
Oak was renamed as Java in 1995.
Purpose

• Java was originally meant to be a


platform- neutral language for
embedded software in devices.
• The language could be used to
produce platform- neutral code.
Design Goal
• Simple - syntax like C, but easier.
• Secure - compile- and runtime-support for security.
• Distributed - built to run over networks.
• Object-oriented - designed from the ground-up to be object-
oriented.
• Robust - strongly typed, memory management, exception handling.
• Portable - ``Write Once, Run Anywhere''. Runs on any platform with
a JVM; Windows, Unix, Linux, Apple, AS/400, cell phones, desktop
sets, ...
• Interpreted - Java bytecode is portable.
• Multithreaded - much easier to write multithreaded programs.
• Dynamic - classes are loaded as needed.
• High-performance - just-in-time compilers, advanced memory
management makes Java programs faster.
Java Architecture
Step 1
• Create a java source code with .java
extension.
Step 2
• Compile the source code using java compiler,
which will create byte code with .class ext.
Step 3
• Class loader reads both the user defined and
library classes into the memory for execution.
Step 4
• Byte code verifier validates all the byte codes are
valid and do not violate java’s security
restrictions.
Step 5
• JVM reads byte code and translates into machine
code for execution.
