Java is a platform independent but it has some drawback it is not thread independent and garbage collection independent because of that drawback we are not able to controll some real life applications like to controll plane, to controll nuclear power station etc.

Yes, Java does achieve platform independence. It uses Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to read the byte code. So all we need to run a java program is JVM.

Hi,Java Language is platform independent at ceratin areas only. Though we try to write JVMs for various devices, we can't control some of functionalities that is the reason we still do not see Java Based applications in some of Operating Systems.RegardsSudhakar Chavali

No java is not platform independent it looses platform-independeny in 3 cases

1. while using threads
2. while using AWT components
3. while using native methods

also one more question
we know java looses platform independency while running as threads
but we also knew that in java evry application run as a thread then how can we consider java as a platform-independent language?

JAVA is platform independent. It means it can run in any platform. The thing is that  the platform should have capability to run class file. The class file organised as it can run in any platform. Thread and other stuff mentioned are concept.
