- Open Source
Java code is compiled, but rather than being compiled into machine-specific instructions, it's converted to a generic Java "Bytecode" which is then run within another program called a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). In order to run Java programs, you must first have a JVM installed on your computer (that was compiled for your specific hardware). Proprietary versions are offered for various platforms free of charge on the official site as part of a complete installation package called a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE). There is also a free software implementation called openJDK.

All manner of software is written in it. Much of the web is fundamentally built on Java. I don't think it's terribly popular as a game development platform anymore, but as noted with Minecraft, that doesn't mean you can't.
