Java is more than just a programming language: It’s also a runtime.
Applications written in Java are compiled to Java bytecode then interpreted by a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which is why you can write Java on one platform and have it run on all other platforms.
A challenge can arise, however, when a programming language and an application develop at different rates. It’s possible for Java (the language) to increment its version number at the same time your favorite application continues to use an older version, at least for a while.
