A Java Abstract Class is a class that cannot be instantiated directly but serves as a base for other classes. It can contain both abstract methods (which do not have a body) and concrete methods (which are fully implemented). Subclasses must implement all abstract methods or be declared abstract themselves. Introduced in Java 1995 with Java 1.0, abstract classes are vital for creating frameworks and APIs that define common behavior while allowing specific implementation in subclasses.

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/IandI/abstract.html
