Yes.

The easiest way to categorize a programming language as "high level" is to actually determine whether or not it is a low-level language. The typical definition of a low-level language is one which does not require a compiler or interpreter to run. Basically, a high-level language is one which needs to be turned into a low-level language (bytecode/assembly instructions) before it can execute.

Java source code needs to be compiled into Java bytecode so that it can run in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The JVM then interprets/compiles the bytecode so that it can run on the host machine.

In summary: Java code cannot run directly on a machine, therefore it is not a low-level language. This would put it in the high-level language category.
