That's exactly the problem... thinking Java is only a programming
language. Java is more than a programming language, it's actually
three things:

1. A programming Language
2. A runtime VM
3. A cross-platform software ecosystem.

Actually, you can write java apps without knowing or touching the Java
programming language, as exemplified by xRuby, Jython, NetRexx
(www.netrexx.org), and Jabaco (www.jabaco.org) just to name a few
examples.
