Abstract

In this article the Java programming language and runtime environment is examined, with special reference being made to its applicability to the creation of applications in the area of linguistic engineering. Java has been presented by Sun Microsystems as an easy to use, secure and robust programming language, which is capable of being used to produce distributed platforrn independent applications, capable of running across the Web. Following a brief analysis of these claims, sorne of the principal requirements of linguistic applications are outlined, and the properties of Java that can be used to rneet these requirements are considered. Iii this process a few brief remarks are made regarding the comparison of Java and other programming languages like Lisp, Prolog, C and C++. Finally, an example system which is being developed by the authors is presented, in order to illustrate the main arguments contained in this article.
