why java is platform independent?..

Answer / gunjan

java is platform independent as JVM compiles source code to
its byte code which is then interpreted to object code.thus
any machine having a java compiler can execute that byte
code.this does not depends on the hardware or the OS of the
system

why java is platform independent?..

Answer / guest

Java is compiled to an intermediate form called byte-code.
A Java program never really executes natively on the host
machine. Rather a special native program called the Java
interpreter reads the byte code and executes the
corresponding native machine instructions. Thus to port
Java programs to a new platform all that is needed is to
port the interpreter and some of the library routines. Even
the compiler is written in Java. The byte codes are
precisely defined, and remain the same on all platforms.

Answer / coder

JVM does not compile Java source code to byte code. It is
the Java Compiler which does that. JVM runs on the target
machine which interprets the byte code and runs the program
on the target machine.

Java is not platform independent. Though you write the Java
source code, somebody else ( Sun Microsystems ) have done
the hardwork to implement JVM for the platform which is
going to run your program. "Java is Platform Independent"
is an illusion.

why java is platform independent?..

Answer / jagan_kumar

java compiler makes the class file which is not dependent
on the hardware or software of the system where we compiled.
Every system has its own JVM(System dependent) and will
takes .class file and produces the code which is executable
on that particular system itself.
So JVM makes the code portability.
hence JVM makes the JAVA as Platform Independent.
JAVA-JVM=NO USE of producing System indipendent code.
