So I'm learning Java and I want to either make games or software with it. I know it can be used to make games (minecraft as an example) but I'm not really sure about software. My knowledge is pretty limited on what Java can be used for (which is why I'm asking this question) so can anyone clear this up for me? Just want to know a list of stuff it can be used to make.
What stuff can java be used for?

I'm not sure, but I think the only thing you can't do by solely relying on Java is design an entire operating system, because Java depends on a virtual machine to function.
So, you should be able to do everything you know software can do, except (maybe) that.

Android use Java for its app platform, and Android is everywhere due to Google, by extension Java is everywhere now no thanks to Sun Micro or Oracle.
