The Java Myth Write Once, Run Anywhere?. The programming language Java gains much of its popularity from its platform-independant nature - "Write once, run anywhere", as Sun Microsystems, the creator of Java, claims. Your Java program should run, without any code changes, on any computer with a Java Virtual Machine available - and JVMs are available for Linux, Windows, Macintosh, Solaris, IRIX, and many other operating systems. However, in practice things are not so simple, even for quite trivial applications. [kuro5hin.org] 9:30:12 PM
