Exploring Java's Ability

Is the Java programming language complete language or is it useful only for writing programs for the Web?
I have no idea what a "complete" language is. But, you can do many things in Java that have nothing to do with the web (don't run in a browser).

I don't know what you mean by "complete," but Java is used for much more than "programs for the web."
The one thing it can't do is directly access hardware. For that you need to use a language like C or C++, but you can provide JNI wrappers to those functions--the result is just not platform-independent.

You can't access memory using pointers, but you can do "anything" else. Is there something specific you want to be able to do? Maybe you should write a list... :-)
