Java is a general-purpose programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. A Java file contains Java code. Java supports programming for the Internet in the form of platform-independent Java "applets". An applet is a program written in Java programming language that can be included in an HTML page. When you use a Java-technology enabled browser to view a page that contains an applet, the applet transfers its code to your endpoint and the browser’s Java Virtual Machine executes the applet.
