'''Java''' is an [[Unincorporated area|unincorporated community]] in [[Pittsylvania County, Virginia|Pittsylvania County]], in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Virginia]].
Like many such communities, Java has no focal point beyond a US Post Office alongside the local volunteer fire department building. The community extends east a mile or so into Halifax County. Java contains no manufacturing operations beyond one commercial saw mill which—like local tobacco farms—is a significant employer in the area. That mill and others have increasingly been supplied by logging operations that have, potentially, been creating more farmable land through their clear-cutting practices. A downside to this clearcutting has been a loss of natural habitat for the native wildlife, including deer and bear.
 
Notable people include international speaker and traveler Alex “Shelly”"Shelly" Lisk and [[Minnesota Public Radio]] host Angela Davis.<ref>[http://www.startribune.com/why-emmy-winning-twin-cities-tv-anchor-angela-davis-made-leap-to-public-radio/507721612/ "Why Emmy-winning TV anchor Angela Davis made the leap to public radio."] startribune.com</ref>
