Definitely Not Java

Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language and platform designed for portability: Java source is compiled to bytecode that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), allowing the same program to run on different operating systems that have a compatible JVM.

The language was originally created at Sun Microsystems and is now implemented and distributed through projects and vendors such as OpenJDK, Oracle, and Eclipse Adoptium.

Java installation

• Official OpenJDK
• Oracle JDK downloads
• Eclipse Adoptium (Temurin builds)

Choose a distribution and the correct installer for your platform (Windows/macOS/Linux).

Java compiler javac

• javac translates Java source files (.java) into Java bytecode class files (.class) that the JVM can execute.
• Typical usage:

  javac Hello.java    # produces Hello.class
  java Hello          # runs the compiled bytecode on the JVM
