Why Use Java?

The most important characteristic of Java is that it was designed from the outset to be machine independent. You can run Java programs unchanged on any machine and operating system combination that supports Java. An application written in Java will only require a single set of source code statements, regardless of the number of different computer platforms on which it is run.

Possibly the next most important characteristic of Java is that it is object-oriented. Object-oriented programs are easier to understand and less timeconsuming to maintain and extend than programs that have been written without the benefit of using objects.
