Java is an interpreted, C++ like, object oriented language which is ideal for developing mobile code, for the following reasons:

Java is platform independent, which means that any kind of network element could potentially run the same Java code.

Java has strong network communication capabilities built-in, with a simple interface for the programmer.

The next release of Java will allow methods in remote objects on other computers to be invoked by an object on the local computer, which allows distributed computing.

Java has gained wide acceptance in industry for Web and other applications that take advantage of Java’s features, like Corel WordPerfect/

As part of my project, I have done and will continue to do development of mobile code and its supporting infrastructure using Java.
