Since I can never get into Sun's Java site, perhaps someone could clarify what Java is.. I have heard the following: - Java is an interpreter for the JavaScript scripting language. - Java produces p-code (or someting similar) for Internet Java browser to interpret. - Java is a full compiler that produces .EXE files using a language that is C++-like in syntax but with less indeterminacies and a single-inheritance object hierarchy. - Java is all of these All revelations gratefully received ....
