Java doesn't supports multiple inheritance of classes due to the following reasons: http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/java-and-multiple-inheritance/ P.S. You can still use interfaces.

Java doesn't currently support multiple inheritance. This was a design decision at the time, not a defect. The decision was taken to avoid potential ambiguities and complexity that C++ presented to support multiple inheritance, Google the "dreaded diamond". Java 8 adds default and static methods to interfaces which have traditionally been Java's answer to multiple inheritance. These bring it closer to C++ multiple inheritance, probably a good thing although I've yet to encounter it much in the wild.

you can implement more than one interface, however it is not exactly the same as inheriting. You can only inherit from one class
