Java Bytecode - Execution

Execution

Java bytecode is designed to be executed in a Java virtual machine. There are several virtual machines available today, both free and commercial products.

Further information: Java virtual machine

If executing Java bytecode in a Java virtual machine is not desirable, a developer can also compile Java source code or Java bytecode directly to native machine code with tools such as the GNU Compiler for Java. Some processors can execute Java bytecode natively. Such processors are known as Java processors.

Famous quotes containing the word execution:

    “Union of Religious Sentiments begets a surprising confidence and Ecclesiastical Establishments tend to great ignorance and corruption, all of which facilitate the Execution of Mischievous Projects.”

    “I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.”
    —Gabriel Péri, French Communist leader. Letter, July 1942, written shortly before his execution by the Germans. Quoted in New York Times (April 11, 1943)

    “I am gradually drifting to the opinion that this Rebellion can only be crushed finally by either the execution of all the traitors or the abolition of slavery. Crushed, I mean, so as to remove all danger of its breaking out again in the future.”
