"Java" generally refers to a combination of three things: the Java programming language (a high-level, object-oriented programming language); the Java Virtual Machine (a high-performance virtual machine that executes bytecodes on a specific computing platform, typically abbreviated JVM); and the Java platform, a JVM running compiled Java bytecodes, usually calling on a set of standard libraries such as those provided by Java Standard Edition (SE) or Enterprise Edition (EE). Though coupled by design, the language does not imply the JVM, and vice versa.
The Java programming language is a high-level language that can be characterized by all of the following buzzwords:
Simple Architecture neutral
Object orientedPortable
Distributed High performance
MultithreadedRobust
Dynamic Secure
In the Java programming language, all source code is first written in plain text files ending with the .java extension. Those source files are then compiled into .class files by the javac compiler. A .class file does not contain code that is native to your processor; it instead contains bytecodes — the machine language of the Java Virtual Machine1 (Java VM). The java launcher tool then runs your application with an instance of the Java Virtual Machine

Java is an application that Sun created, and Microsoft emulated, until Sun sued them, and now Microsoft is trying to get away from. It allows web developers to execute code in your browser and makes PCs more vulnerable to hackers.
