Java Features

Object Oriented:  Java programming is object-oriented programming language. Like C++ java provides most of the object oriented features. In Java, everything is an Object. Java can be easily extended
 since it is based on the Object model.

 Platform Independent: Unlike many other programming languages including C  and C++, when Java is compiled, it is not compiled into platform specific machine, rather into platform independent byte code. This byte code is distributed over the web and interpreted by the Virtual Machine (JVM) on whichever platform it is being run on.

 Simple: Java is designed to be easy to learn. If you understand the basic concept of OOP Java, it would be easy to master. Most of the concepts are drew from C++ thus making Java learning simpler.

 Secure: With Java's secure feature it enables to develop virus-free, tamper-free systems. Authentication techniques are based on public-key encryption. Java program cannot harm other system thus making it secure.

 Architecture-neutral: Java compiler generates an architecture-neutral object file format, which makes the compiled code executable on many processors, with the presence of Java runtime system.

 Portable: Java programs can execute in any environment for which there is a Java run-time system.(JVM). Java programs can be transferred over world wide web (e.g applets). Java programs can be run on any platform (Linux,Window,Mac).  Java is written in ANSI C with a clean portability boundary, which is a POSIX subset.

 Robust: Java makes an effort to eliminate error prone situations by emphasizing mainly on compile time error checking and runtime checking.

 Multithreaded: With Java's multithreaded feature it is possible to write programs that can perform many tasks simultaneously. This design feature allows the developers to construct interactive applications that can run smoothly.

 Interpreted: Java byte code is translated on the fly to native machine instructions and is not stored anywhere. The development process is more rapid and analytical since the linking is an incremental and light-weight process.

 High Performance:  Bytecodes are highly optimized. JVM can executed them much faster ., Java enables high performance
Distributed: Java is designed for the
distributed environment of the internet.

 Dynamic: Java is considered to be more dynamic than C or C++ since it is designed to adapt to an evolving environment. Java programs can carry extensive amount of run-time information that can be used to verify and resolve accesses to objects on run-time.
