Java technology is used in a wide variety of environments from PCs, game players, and mobile phones to home appliances. Java is also used to create online and mobile games and many computer applications.

Java was originally developed in 1991 by Sun Microsystems as a language for embedded applications such as those used in set-top boxes and other consumer-oriented devices. It became the fuel to ignite a revolution in thinking when Sun transformed it for the Web in 1994.
Java is a full-blown programming language like C and C++ and allows for the creation of sophisticated applications. Thus far, Java applications and applets have been mildly successful at the client side, but Java on the server has become very popular. Sun's J2EE enterprise model has become an application server standard.

The Java Run time Environment, or JRE, is a software bundle from Sun Microsystems that allows a computer system to run a java application. This bundle includes a Java Virtual Machine, and a set of standard class libraries. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is incorporated into a Web browser in order to execute Java applets. The original JVM came from the JavaSoft division of Sun. Subsequently, other vendors developed their own.
Java also runs well on Pocket PC devices. Sun have developed Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) which provides a flexible environment for applications running on consumer devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, Pocket PCs. Like Sun's other Java platforms, Java ME includes Java virtual machines and a set of Java APIs.
Software developers use Java Development Kit software to create many kinds of online games that are played through a web browser. The development of Java web based graphics technologies has allowed browser games to become more complex and they have become increasingly popular, although most browser games have limited multiplayer play, often being single player games with a high score list shared amongst all players.
