Java is created for simple OOP.

It doesnt use multiple inheritance for simplicity hence it is not pure OOP.
Java uses JVM, hence it is platform independent.
Java uses collections hence it is easy to code.It has a huge API, so LOC are reduced.
Java doesn't use pointers hence it is more secure.
Java uses OOP concepts like encapsulation, data hiding, inheritance, polymorphism.
Java is independent of OS.

Java was created to make programming simple and easy. Designing the Java simple was the main aim of the Java creator (Java Soft people). When Java was developed, they wanted it to be simple because it has to work on electronic devices, where less memory is available. Now question is how Java is made Java simple? First of all the difficult concept of C and C++ have been omitted in Java for eg. concepts like pointers which is very difficult for both learner and the programmer has been completely eliminated from Java. Next the Java soft people maintained the same syntax of C and C++ in java so that programmer who knows C or C++ will find Java already familiar.
