Oracle Java SE

Platform independent, robust and secure programming

Auto memory management using garbage collection

Huge number of framework available for development

Oracle doc can be improve more in detail

The JVM makes deploying across platforms simple

Widely supported in the open-source community

Actively maintained and developed

Very object oriented, hard to use modern functional programming paradigms

GC can cause performance issues

It's very fast. Especially if you use the right "tools" for the "right" task

It's very secure, type safe/strong language, which is great for production usage

It's has a gigantic opensource community, so you can find a framework or library for your needs in mere minutes

Strong encapsulation and modular architecture lets you sleep well at night

I would like to see more standardization on the convention level of good code practices in Java that could be promoted by Oracle

I would like to see a little more investment into JavaFX as with Graal VM there is a big potential

I would like to see more WebAssambly/WASM related features

Lot of coding has to be done in case of [Oracle Java SE] compared to python

Memory optimization

Mathematical operations in short codes

Graph and network related libraries should be added

Highly secure and object oriented

Exception handling

Easy integration with other open-source libraries

No option of pointers in Java

Memory management is not well handled

Supports multiple platforms

Supports modern concepts such as streams and functional interfaces

Good tooling available (IDEs, debuggers, profilers, etc)

No ability to automatically clean up resources such as via destructors in C++. End users must explicitly invoke a method (e.g. close, dispose) to ensure resources are freed in a timely manner.

Garbage collection can introduce pauses at runtime (although this is improving)

Memory leaks are sometimes difficult to find due to automatic garbage collection

Java is portable

Java is stable

Learning Java is not easy.

You must be careful with memory management.

Reliability.

Lots of literature and qualified resources.

An extensive set of libraries.

Some default Java libraries have known bugs.

The code is a little complex for beginners.

We use our Enterprise Resouce Planning Applications development. And Java SE performance is very powerful.

Our budget planning application uses Java SE. Easy, very useful.

For Financial Consolidation application we use JAVA SE.

Application improvements can be made more easily.

Security and scheduling effects are made difficult in Java SE settings for critical applications.

Costs should be at the appropriate level.

Plenty support built into the tool and IDE like Maven, Ant, Eclipse, IntelliJ.

Strong object-orientation language and clear project structure.

Wrapper underlines hardware and memory management so the developers can focus on business and implementation.

It offers a huge library and framework support from third-parties and the community.

It is hard to manage memory.

Swing UI module is not good.

Need time to initiate VM so the startup time is a little slow compared to other programs like Bash or Python.

Runs on all OS Platforms. Applications made on Java can run on all modern OS platforms. No need to make separate.

Automatic Memory Management. Java's excellent implementation of a garbage collector clears up memory by removing unreferenced objects.

Multithreaded Performance. Shared memory areas maximizes the utility of the CPU, accomplishing more tasks than usual.

Commercial Licensing in 2019. Oracle will charge commercial organizations using Java SE for upgrading to the latest bug fixes and updates. Organizations will now need to either limit their implementation of Java SE or may need to drop it altogether.

Slow Performance. Due to the all of the abstraction of the JVM, Java SE programs take much more resources to compile and run compared to Python.

Poor UI appearance on all of the major GUI libraries (Swing, SWT, etc.). Through Android Studio, it is easy to get a native look/feel for Java apps, but when it comes to desktops, the UI is far from acceptable (does not mimic the native OS's look/feel at all).

Server application

Desktop application

Mobile applications

The previous lifecycle update was slow

The community process was really closed

The vm was slow to start

It's a robust, widely used, well-documented programming language

It's platform-independent.

Easy to learn, read, extend, use, etc.

Lately, the development of the language and the licensing policy cast some shadow over the language among our customers.

Modern, competitor programming languages tend to implement new, state-of-the-art things a bit faster.

Lombok plugin :)

Well organized introduction to object-oriented programming.

Intelligently conceived type system.

Good use of functional features (considering that it's not a pure functional language).

We're waiting for the switch expression to become mainstream in the language.

Mature platform.

Variety of enterprise-grade libraries.

Easy to find and hire developers.

Great performance.

Less verbose code.

Lighter deployments.

Inclusion of modern language constructs (as found in Scala and Kotlin).

Java Handles its own memory well!

Is a typed language, so has great standards.

I am unsure if the new speed of releases is realistic for the wider talent world to keep up.

Official training and support from Oracle to develop the community feels like it prices out new devs.

Ease of Use

Powerful - you can write really robust programs.

Multipurpose - you can link it with many other applications, within Oracle and others as well.

Availibilty

More IDE's

Can't do mobile development

Cloud platform - not based in the cloud

Easy to understand, commonly taught in schools

Reliable

Can be developed once and used anywhere

Often difficult to diagnose memory leaks

Cost

Ease of obtaining support

The educational tools available are better than for other languages.

A very wide range of teaching material and ecosystem is available.

Great support is available for teachers in the community.

In more recent versions, the Java language has become more complex. Language features are being added that help professionals, but get in the way for novices.

Java is very reliable.

Java is commonly used, so the community is very strong.

Support is lacking. Response for bug reports are slow and less than satisfactory.

Good collection of libraries.

Easy to learn. High productivity for developers.

Good infrastructure support internally.

GC performance. Hope it will be much better with the new GC coming up in Java 11.

Difficulty of Migration. Migration to a new major version is particularly challenging.

Well written documentation for quick and easy lookup.

Platform-independency allows us to cut time in development.

Confusing regex expressions.

Not a language for lower level programming.

Maintainable.

Scalable.

Great Community.

Customer service is lacking.

Support is lacking.

It's a great programming language used by millions of people and devices.

I think it's easy to learn and fast to use.

There is so much help and content online to use it and build on it.

I wish it had support to data science and machine learning as Python does.

I wish we can do exploratory data analysis easily like in R or Python.

Java is cross-platform. We are able to run our applications in a variety of infrastructures with allows us to select the best one for its particular use-case

Java has amassed an extensive set of libraries, both first and third party which acts as a force multiplier for our teams.

Java is well known and gives us a large pool from which to draw technical resources

The new pricing structure of Java has left many concerns in the community as to the proper upgrade path

The new release schedule has put us In a rough spot as our applications are failing behind Java versions quickly

Java has a reputation for insecurities, which can lead to hard conversations about its security
