Multi Platform or Platform Independent Softwares

There is small difference between platform independent and multiplatform softwares. Multiplatform softwares are those softwares that are capable of running on multiple platform configurations, and platform independent softwares are actually softwares running on the multiplatform softwares.

For example java is multiplatform software. Softwares built using java are platform independent because they only need java either it is running on windows or linux or a mac. We can have advantage of platform independent softwares, so that we do not need to rebuild the software for other platforms also.
