<p>What are the Java Urban Myths? That is, the ideas and conceptions about Java that are <em>common</em> but have <em>no actual roots in reality</em>. </p>

<p>As a Java programmer, what ideas held by your fellow Java programmers have you had to disprove so often that you've come to believe they all learned at the feet of the same drunk old story-teller?</p>

<p><i>Ideally, you would express these myths in a single sentence, and include an explanation of why they are false.</i></p>
