Java Virtual Machine
From JVMLanguages
(Redirected from JVM)
Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a term that refers to any run-time environment for Java bytecode.
This typically includes one of more of the following:
- an interpreter for Java Bytecode,
- an Adaptive Compiler that translates from Java Bytecode to native machine code at run-time,
- an implementation of the Java Class Library.
The normative resource for JVM information is the Java Virtual Machine Specification (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/2nd-edition/html/VMSpecTOC.doc.html).
