   Java is a very popular sophisticated programming environment. Applications   
   written in the Java language are run inside a virtual machine (Java Virtual   
   Machine, JVM) which provides a nearly identical behavior on all platforms that   
   have a JVM implementation available. This "write once, run anywhere" approach   
   means that developers can support a multitude of platforms while only having   
   to maintain one code base. For users, availability of a current Java for OS/2   
   and eComStation means access to a huge number of existing applications.     
      
   For more information about Java, see:   
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%28programming_language%29   
      
   Previously, Java had been made available for OS/2 and eComStation by IBM,   
   Golden Code and Innotek. However, new versions with many changes and   
   improvements have been released since then and current applications require a   
   current JVM implementation. The new project will port a current JVM to OS/2   
   and eComStation.
