The '''Java platform''' is the name for a bundle of related programs, or [[platform (computing)|platform]], from [[Sun Microsystems]] which allow for developing and running programs written in the [[Java (programming language)|Java programming language]]. The platform is not specific to any one processor or operating system, but rather, an execution engine (called a [[virtual machine]]) and a compiler with a set of standard libraries are implemented for various hardware and operating systems so that Java programs can run identically on all of them.
Different "editions" of the platform are available, including:
*Java Standard Edition or [[Java SE]] (formerly J2SE) for desktop machines
