Because java provides a secure platform and use of pointers in any language makes it insecure by various means.

Keep in mind that one of Java's main design principles was to produce much simpler code than C/C++. Anyone who has ever looked through a bit of code and seen something like *(*(*p)(int))[10] will certainly agree that pointers, while useful, are often misused and can lead to overly complicated code.

Java's concept of references in place of pointers has always been sufficient for this contributor.
