Java
software allows you to run applications called
"applets" that are written in the Java programming
language. These applets allow you to have a much
richer experience online than simply interacting with
static HTML pages.
Java Plug-in technology,
included as part of the Java 2 Runtime Environment,
Standard Edition (JRE), establishes a connection
between popular browsers and the Java platform. Java
allows applications to be downloaded over a network
and run within a guarded sandbox. Security
restrictions are easily imposed on the sandbox.
Many cross platform
applications also require Java to operate properly. |
