    Theoretically, anything.

    Java is Turing complete, so any program you ever use on a computer *should* be able to be reproduced in Java. Anything from 4 function calculators to integral solvers, "Hello world" to Microsoft Word, can be written in Java.

    Though in some cases using Java for a given program is impractical, but theoretically possible.

    Your question, to me, is like asking "what can I bake once I know how to bake?" The answer would of course be "Anything that can be baked."

    There's a lot of networking server code written in Java. Android also uses Java as the language of choice. The only real restriction is what platforms the JVM has been migrated to.

    Developers tend to not use Java on the client side desktop because of the overhead, but you can write client-side applications just fine.
