framework for java as .NET is ther for c#

As .NET is framework for c# is there any f开发者_Go百科ramework for java? I mean whenever people talks about c#, .NET will be involved in that discussion but in case of java i didnt find as such.

Java is already both a platform and a language. So there are standard libraries which come with J2SE (and other editions). It's slightly clearer in the .NET world, although people still regularly say C# when they mean .NET or vice versa :(

Oh, and JVM (Java Virtual Machine) ~= CLR (Common Language Runtime)

.NET was basically designed with multiple languages in mind, whereas the whole Java platform was designed to run Java; the fact that there are umpteen other languages running on it now (Scala, Groovy, Jython etc) is purely coincidental :)

The Java Framework is the framework for the Java programming language.
