Real time Java
Real time Java is a catch-all term for a combination of technologies that allows programmers to write programs that meet the demands of Real time systems in the Java programming language. Java’s sophisticated memory management, native support for threading and concurrency, type safety, and relative simplicity have created a demand for its use in many domains. Unfortunately, several properties prevent it from being directly suitable for use in Real time systems: To overcome these difficulties, the Java Community introduced a specification for real-time Java, JSR001. As of 2006, a number of implementations of the resulting Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) have emerged, including a reference implementation from Timesys, and Sun Microsystems’s Java SE Real-Time System.
