The current Enterprise Edition of Java is known as Java EE This Java program will show how to use Java SE 7, but it should also work for earlier and future versions of Java Operating systems supported by Java: Windows Linux Solaris Macintosh OS X Applications, applets, and servlets: These figures describe the 3 types of programs you can create with Java When you create these desktop apps, you can use a graphical user interface(GUI) to get user input and perform a calculation as shown here The console application: runs in the console, or command prompt, that’s available from your operating system, as shown here. One of the unique characters of Java is that you can use it to create a special type of web-based application known as an applet This figure shows an applet that works the same way as the application above it The main difference between an application and an applet is that an applet can be stored in an HTML page and can run inside a Java-enabled browser As a result, you can distribute applets via the Internet or an intranet
