Jikes is an open-source compiler that translates Java source files as defined in “The Java Language Specification” into the bytecode instruction set and binary format defined in “The Java Virtual Machine Specification”. Jikes RVM is a VM that was designed and developed for use by the research community for investigating issues in virtual machine design and implementation. Jikes RVM takes over where the Jikes Java source to bytecode compiler leaves off; Jikes RVM compiles byte codes (.class files) into native code and provides an execution environment for that native code to run in.
