Simulation models in Java can be made widely available. An applet can be retrieved and run and does not have to be ported to a different platform or even recompiled and linked. Java provides a high degree of dynamism (applets run in browsers). Java threads make it easier to implement  simulation following the process interactive paradigm. Built-in support for animation.

Simjava – a process based discrete event simulation package for building working models of complex systems. Facilities for representing simulation objects as animated icons on screen.
DEVSJAVA – an environment based on DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification). It supports High Level Architecture, agent based modeling and System Entity Structure
JSIM – an environment supporting web based simulation as well as component-based technology. The environment uses Java Beans to create reusable components. Simulation can be built either using the event package or the process package.
JavaSim – a Java implementation of the original C++SIM Simulation toolkit at University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
JavaGPSS – a simulation tool which was specifically designed for the internet.
Silk – commercially available general-purpose simulation language based around a process-interaction approach and implemented in Java.
WSE – Web-enabled Simulation Environment) combines web technology with the use of Java and CORBA.
