Java Virtual Machine

The Java Virtual Machine 1.1 provides access to the Java platform for the Solaris operating environment. It is compatible with the 1.1 Java Developer Kit^TM from JavaSoft^TM. It includes the standard Java compiler (javac), the Java interpreter (java), the Java class file disassembler (javap), and the C-header and stub file generator (javah). The Solaris Java Virtual Machine also includes the just-in-time (JIT) compiler, improving performance.

The Java Virtual Machine uses Solaris native threads, which provides multiprocessor support for Java threads. Use of Solaris native threads also improves Java application scalability and integration with native methods.

Also included is the appletviewer, which enables you to run applets outside of the context of a World Wide Web browser.

javald(1), another enhancement used to manage Java applications, generates wrappers to execute Java programs. The wrapper ensures that a Java program executed with JAVA_HOME, CLASSPATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables set correctly for the program.
