Java
It is general purpose programming language
created by sun microsystems.
Developed by James Gosling and team.
It is a general purpose object oriented
programming language.
Most of the syntax derived from C and C++.
Java is now acquired and maintained by
Oracle Corporation.
Creator of Java
James Gosling
Initially named as Oak.
Later it renamed to Java.
Later Java is realised as Free Open
Source Software (FOSS) under GNU
General Public Licence.
More than 7,000 predefined classes
available for developers.

Java Compiler [Compile Time]
Java Compiler Compiles the Java Source Code
[Main.java].
It checks for syntax errors and if none found then
compiler generates Byte code [Intermediate
Code called Main.class] as class file.
This class file targeted to JVM not the actual
operating system of target machine.
This class file can run by any OS which has a
JVM.

Java Interpretation
Classloader
It is the subsystem of JVM that is used to load
class files.
Bytecode Verifier
Checks the code fragments for illegal code that
can violate access right to objects.
Interpreter
read bytecode stream then execute the instructions
in a native code.
