'''Java''' is an [[object-oriented]] [[programming language]] developed by [[Sun Microsystems]] in the 1990's. Its syntax is similar to that of C++, but with some simplifications. One of the major features which make Java programs easier to write than C++ programs is its support for automatic memory management.

The Java compiler maintained by Sun Microsystems compiles Java code to bytecode, which requires the Java virtual machine to execute. This model was adopted by Microsoft for [[C#]] and other [[.NET]] languages. [[IBM]] and others supply regular Java compilers for those who don't want to use the virtual machine.
