Java is an unincorporated community in Pittsylvania County, in the U.S. state of Virginia. Like many such 'communities', Java has no focal point beyond a US Post Office aloneside the local (volunteer) fire department building. The 'community' actually extends east a mile or so into Halifax County. Java contains no manufacturing operations beyond one commercial saw mill which—like local tobacco farms—is a significant employer in the area. That mill and others have increasingly been supplied by logging operations that have, potentially, been creating more farmable land through their clear-cutting practices.
