The Java Class Library (JCL) is a set of dynamically loadable libraries that Java Virtual Machine (JVM) languages can call at run time. It is the standard library of Java and other JVM languages, and is thus sometimes called the Java Standard Library. Because the Java Platform is not dependent on a specific operating system, applications cannot rely on any of the platform-native libraries. Instead, the Java Platform provides a comprehensive set of standard class libraries, containing the functions common to modern operating systems. Since Java 9, the Java Class Library can be accessed through module path using the Java Platform Module System.
