What is Java?

Java coffee refers to coffee beans produced in the Indonesian island of Java.

The Dutch began cultivation of coffee trees on Java (part of the Dutch East Indies) in the 17th century; Java has exported coffee globally since. Agricultural systems in Java have changed considerably over time. A rust plague in the late 1880s killed off much of the plantation stocks in the Sukabumi area before spreading to Central Java and parts of East Java. The Dutch responded by replacing the Arabica firstly with Liberica (a tough, but somewhat unpalatable[citation needed] coffee) and later with Robusta. As of 2015 Java's old colonial-era plantations provide just a fraction of the coffee grown on the island; they produce primarily the higher-valued Arabica variety.

Also it is a computer program.

Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA), meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. As of 2016, Java is one of the most popular programming languages in use,particularly for client-server web applications, with a reported 9 million developers.

When “all of the above” is an option, it always seems to be the correct answer.

That entire paragraph about the computer programme melted my mind! Can anyone explain it in terms a simpleton would understand?

Lydia Coutts ! Java is the name of coffee ! It is also the name of something that you can download on your laptop to help it run better ! Java is also the name of an Island that they grow the coffee bean on ! Thanks

I know that Java is a place and know that Java is a type of coffee brand & came across that Java is a computer laguage.

EACH and EVERY answer IS CORRECT. Quiz Club NEEDS to do a better job of establishing language standards for multiple choice questions. In this scenario, IF the author intends for ONLY “all of these” to be the CORRECT answer, the AUTHOR needs to figure out a way to structure the question better.

David Coe

"Java" is also a slang term for any kind of coffee.
