Java Technology

Java is one of the computer industry's best known brands and most widely deployed technologies. With the acquisition of Sun, Oracle will drive continued innovation and investment in Java technology for the benefit of customers and the Java community.

Oracle Fusion Middleware is built on Java technology in support of applications and services written in the Java language. Oracle has been a leading and substantive supporter of Java since its emergence in 1995 and takes on the new role as steward of Java technology with a relentless commitment to fostering a community of participation and transparency.

  • Java SE continues with strengthened investment as the core of the Java platform
  • Java EE, with GlassFish as the reference implementation, continues with strengthened investment as the platform for enterprise development
  • Java ME, Java TV, Java Card, and JavaFX continue with strengthened investment as the ever-expanding and ever- innovative fulfillment of Java's promise of write once, run anywhere

Java technology is an object-oriented, platform-independent, multithreaded programming environment. It is the foundation for Web and networked services, applications, platform-independent desktops, robotics, and other embedded devices.

• Java Technology in PC Desktops—Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) enables developers to create secure, portable, high-performance applications for the widest range of desktop computing platforms possible, including Macintosh, Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Oracle Solaris.
• Java Technology on the Server—Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is the standard for delivering secure, robust, scalable, multi-platform applications and services across the enterprise, from server and desktop applications to mobile wireless and wireline applications.
• Java Technology in Small and Mobile Devices—Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) meets the needs of developers creating applications for the consumer and embedded markets. No other technology provides such robust applications across so many types of size-constrained wireless and wireline devices, from mobile phones and PDAs to set-top boxes and vehicle telematics.
