A client program is a locally installed program which works with other 'Server' programs in order to complete a system.

Java is a programming language. There is a term called "Client-Server application" - there is a client application and a server application. An example would be the application running when you use a bank machine/online banking. The client application is the one that ask the type of transaction, client number and password. Once this information is acquired by the client application, it then sends the request to the server. The server does things like confirming password and number, if the transaction is something we are allowed to do, etc and sends a result back. The client application receives the result back and organizes this result into something that looks nice to see on screen for display.
A java client then is an application that is programmed using java.

Java software allows you to run applications called "applets" that are written in the Java programming language. These applets allow you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D. Corporations also use applets for intranet applications and e-business solutions.
