Determine the phase Loading- Java Program Development

In phase 3, the program must first be placed in memory before it can be executed. This is done by the class loader, which takes the .class file (or files) containing the bytecodes and transfers it to memory. The .class file can be loaded from a disk on your system or over a network (such as your local university or company network or even the internet).

Applications (Programs) are loaded into memory and executed using the java interpreter via the command java. When executing a Java application called Welcome, the command

Java Welcome

Invokes the interpreter for the Welcome application and causes the class loader to load information used in the Welcome program.
