This overview introduces terminology and important technologies from the established Java platform. Starting with strategic considerations such as significance and adoption, it moves from client-side Java (Java SE) and essential development tools to server-side Java (Jakarta Enterprise). There, the focus is Java as an integration platform and its various technologies. Finally, deployment of Java solutions and Eclipse as a rich client are discussed, bridging software development and operations.
