Rep Power: 4 java_roshan is on a distinguished road
I believe, one of the aspect among the other top ones is, "CROSS-PLATFORM" that makes it one of the most popular. i.e. if you compile a java program in (say) windows,a class file is generated, which in turn, when supplied to the Java Runtime Environment on a computer where the source code was Not compiled would run in the same way it would have ran on the source computer.

The other feature, I think that makes it popular is, a plethora of classes are built-in and can be used simply to perform a task. Inheritance ...Reusability!...Fantastic! Just import and code!
