Java is a plugin created by Oracle that has existed for over 20 years. This plugin allows you to create multi-platform programs (such as OpenOffice, programming environments like Eclipse, ...), but also applets that were running in web pages.
Java is an object oriented programming language, and you will find many things based on Java :
- Programs or development environments.
- Applications or games that ran on your old GSM
- Android is a well-known operating system for smartphones and tablets and is also based on Java
Its main disadvantage : the many security flaws that have been found recently.
