When Java Programming Language was designed, the main goal was that the programs written using Java language should be able to run across different platforms securely. To be able to run programs written in Java language across different platforms securely, mainly depends upon Java Virtual Machine (JVM) implemented on those platforms. It means stability and version of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is very important. However, only on platforms Solaris (Sun’s own platform), Linux, and Windows you will find most updated Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Where as HP and IBM provide their own implementation for their operating systems and found that it is not actively updated with the latest release of Java. The JVMs found on these platforms were even a year old.
