Software on a computer that runs Java applets.
The Java Virtual Machine (VM) is a program that interprets Java bytecodes into machine code. The VM is what makes Java portable--a vendor such as Microsoft or Sun writes a Java VM for their operating system, and any Java program can run on that VM.
Interpreter of Java bytecodes; maps them into executable instructions for the given platform. It is the key to realizing the ``compile once, run anywhere'' philosophy of Java, and is implemented within leading Web browsers.
an interpreter-a program running locally-that understands and can execute the Java language
a program which interprets and executes Java bytecode
A program that interprets your Java code so that it can be executed on the native operating system of your machine. The JVM can run on either the client or the server. The JVM is the key software component that enables your Java programs to be portable across platforms. A JVM is included with JDKs and JREs from Sun Microsystems, Inc., as well as with most Web browsers.
the environment created by running the Java interpreter
A software layer that understands Java bytecodes. The Java Virtual Machine is documented in white papers available on-line at http://www.javasoft.com/nav/download/index.html.
The Java interpreter that converts the compiled Java bytecode into the machine language of the platform and runs it. JVMs can run on a client, in a browser, in a middle tier, on a Web, on an application server such as OAS, or in a database server such as Oracle 8i.
The Java Runtime under which grid services run. We recommend using version 1.4.2 or higher.
Java compilers compile Java bytecodes to run on an imaginary machine called the Java Virtual Machine. This machine allows Java applets programmed to a make believe computer, then the bytecodes are translated to fit the specific computer they are running on by the Java interpreter inside the Java enabled browser.
The part of the Java Runtime Environment responsible for interpreting Java bytecodes.
A software implementation of a central processing unit (CPU) that runs compiled Java code (applets and applications). (Back to the top)
A software "execution engine" that safely and compatibly executes the byte codes in Java class files on a microprocessor (whether in a computer or in another electronic device).
A set of programs that allow for Java applets to be run on a particular computer system.
A program that runs under an operating system and interprets Java programs. The Java Virtual Machine ideally will not allow any harm to come to the computer...
A JVM acts as an interpreter between the Java bytecode and a computer's operating system. Using a JVM, you can run Java code on any number of different computer platforms, including Macintosh, Windows 95, and Unix. JVMs read and execute Java statements one at a time.
The software ‘‘machine’’ which actually executes all Java programs. The Java Virtual Machine is built into the appletviewer, and any Java capable web browsers.
The Java interpreter that processes Java in the server. It is invoked by the SQL implementation.
Part of the Java Runtime Environment, the JVM is the program that interprets and executes bytecode in compiled Java class files. The JVM is invoked with the java command and supplies programs for a context in which to run, providing resources such as memory management via garbage collection, network access, and security. The JVM acts as an abstraction of the hardware layer, enabling programs written in Java to run on any platform with a Java Virtual Machine. There are different JVM specifications, including one for smart cards and micro devices.
The software that supplies the system-independent interfaces for Java software (including the Java Runtime Environment). Use this term to refer to the actual Java Virtual Machine and not the Java Runtime Environment.
A component of the Java runtime environment that JIT-compiles Java bytecodes, manages memory, schedules threads, and interacts with the host operating environment (e.g., a Web browser running the Java program). The JVM is the Java equivalent of the .NET Frameworkâ€(tm)s CLR.
Software that interprets the instructions in Java applets. (JVM) The JVM is typically considered to be part of the operating system, but works closely with applications or systems that use Java as a way of extending themselves (such as browsers).
a Java interpreter which allows your computer to run Java applets.
Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a Java interpreter and runtime environment. Java source code is compiled into a format called bytecode (files with a .class extension), which can then be executed by a Java interpreter. Web browsers are often equipped with Java virtual machines.
A Java Virtual Machine (JVM), is a virtual machine that interprets and executes Java bytecode. This code is most often generated by Java language compilers, although the JVM can also be targeted by compilers of other languages. JVM's may be developed by other companies as long as they adhere to the http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/ JVM standard published by Sun.
