Implementing a Java TM Virtual Machine in the Java Programming Language
Antero Taivalsaari · 1998
JavaInJava is a Java virtual machine written in the Java TM programming language. The system was built at Sun Microsystems Laboratories in order to examine the feasibility of constructing high-quality virtual machines using the Java programming language and to experiment with new virtual machine implementation techniques. In this paper we describe the overall architecture of JavaInJava and summarize a number of interesting technical issues that were encountered during its implementation.
