Answer 2

Java cannot allow pointers, because doing so would allow Java programs to breach the firewall between the Java execution environment and the host computer.

(Remember, a pointer can be given any address in memory—even addresses that might be outside the Java run-time system.)

Java is designed in such a way that as long as you stay within the confines of the execution environment, you will never need to use a pointer, nor would there be any benefit in using one.
