According to section 3.10 of the Java Language Specification, "A literal is the source code representation of a value of a primitive type (�4.2), the String type (�4.3.3), or the null type (�4.1)."
So basically, a literal is a specific value in the source code. For example, in the line int x = 10;, the "10" is an int literal. Or in the line System.out.println("abc");, the "abc" is a String literal.
