Additionally Java code must be run in a <a class="wikilink" href="http://swik.net/JVM">Java Virtual Machine</a>, which imposes an overhead. The introduction of various just-in-time compilers has negated his effect for long-running program; in fact, potentially Java can be faster as it can use run-time profiling to guide optimizations.</p> <h2>External Links</h2> <ul> <li>More information about Java is available at the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sun.com/java/about/">About Java</a> page at sun.com.</li> <li>The latest stable release of the Java platform can be downloaded from the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/download.jsp">Java <span class="caps">SE 6</span> download page</a> .</li> <li>The upcoming <a rel="nofollow" href="https://jdk7.dev.java.net/">Java 7 platform</a> is currently under development.</li> <li>Sun is open-sourcing its Java SE implementation in the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://openjdk.dev.java.net">OpenJDK project</a></li> <li>More <a rel="nofollow" href="http://freejdk.org">open source java projects from OpenJDK Community</a></li> <li>Java Sample Code <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.java-samples.com">Java Samples and Tutorials</a></li> </ul> Java is a object-oriented programming language created by Sun Microsystems.
