A technology that allows programmers to use the Java programming language and related tools to develop programs for mobile wireless information devices such as cellular phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs).

The Java Platform used to deploy portable applications. In practical terms, Java SE consists of a virtual machine, used to run Java programs, together with a set of libraries needed to allow the use of file systems, networks, graphical interfaces.

One of a set of Java technologies used to develop Web services. JAX-WS belongs to what Sun Microsystems calls the "core Web services" group. Like most of the core group, JAX-WS is typically used in conjunction with other technologies.

An application program interface (API) in the Java Web Services Developer Pack (WSDP) that enables Java developers to include remote procedure calls (RPCs) with Web services or other Web-based applications. 

A file that contains the class, image,and sound files for a Java application or applet gathered into a single file and possibly compressed. The jar utility lets the programmer create, list, or extract the individual files from a JAR file. 

A set of application program interfaces (APIs) that can determine the identity of a user or computer attempting to run Java code and ensure that the entity has the right to execute the functions requested.

A specification that defines an approach to implementing a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), the underlying structure supporting Web service communications on behalf of computing entities such as application programs or human users. 

An open standard from Sun Microsystems for a smart card development platform. Smart cards created using the Java Card platform have Java applets stored on them. The applets can be added to or changed after the card is issued.

A microchip that, when added to a computer, will accelerate the performance of Java programs. The special chip can execute all or some of the instructions in the Java bytecode directly without requiring interpretation by a software virtual machine.

An application program interface (API) that provides a uniform framework for the implementation of security features in Java.   

An Application Program Interface (API) that enables a Java programmer to access a database implicitly - that is, without having to make explicit Structured Query Language (SQL) statements.

An Application Program Interface (API) specification for connecting programs written in Java to the data in popular databases. The API lets you encode access request statements in SQL that are then passed to the program that manages the database. 

The JDBC Connector is a program that enables various databases to be accessed by Java application servers that are run on the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) from Sun Microsystems. Its connects an application server with a JDBC driver. 

A program development environment for writing Java applets and applications. It consists of a runtime environment that "sits on top" of the operating system layer as well as the tools and programming that developers need.

Using the Java programming language, JFC are pre-written code in the form of class libraries (coded routines) that give the programmer a comprehensive set of graphical user interface (GUI) routines to use. 

A set of specifications for application and network management in the J2EE development and application environment. JMX defines a method for Java developers to integrate their applications with existing network management software.
