Quite good. Just a few points:

  • latest version is Java 15, with 16 due in a month. Since version 9 in 2017, a new Java version is published twice a year.
  • Portability and platform independence were (probably the) main concerns in defining Java. Next to those were multithreading and network operations.
  • Use the word "Dynamic" as an adjective to the language with caution, because there is a term, "Dynamic Typing", that is widely used and is not applicable to Java.

You are on the right track. Happy coding!
