MyJVM : a 100% pure Java parameterizable Java virtual machine
With Christophe Deleray, Gilles Roussel, Etienne Duris and Rémi Forax
Abstract
Numerous research works propose Java extensions. Most of these works
try to solve a precise problem and offer ad-hoc solutions
to achieve their goal: language extensions, preprocessors
implementation, modifications of the compiler, of the bytecode or of
the virtual machine behavior. Most of this changes could be
implemented in a common framework by extending a Java Virtual
Machine (JVM). Unfortunately, most JVM are not freely available or
difficult to manage and/or to extend, and explicit use of their particular
features implies a loss of portability. In this paper, we present an
open Java Virtual Machine (100% pure Java) designed to be easily
extensible (at compile-time and at run-time) by Java programmers.
