Why does not Java support multiple inheritance?

[Mark Herschberg]

The short answer is: because Gosling said it was too hard.

okay then in other words
what are the disadvantages of Multiple Inheritance?

[Detlev Beutner]

Complexity.
But with the concept of the interfaces, you have some of the advanteges of multiple inheritance (you can implement many interfaces; you just really have to implement the complete stuff).
Hope it helps
