missing compilers?[edit]

A (J)VM is just something which interprets Java bytecode. Therefore to be able to run JikesRVM without another (J)VM it would need to be compiled to native code. Then to run JikesRVM on itself it would ALSO need to be compiled to Java bytecode. Thus one is left to wonder where these missing compilers are. --MarSch (talk) 20:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We require a separate bootstrap JVM to build Jikes RVM, as mentioned in the Bootstrap section of the article. We use the bootstrap JVM's source-to-bytecode compiler to produce Jikes RVM class files, then we use the bootstrap JVM to run one of the Jikes RVM bytecode-to-native compilers on the Jikes RVM class files to produce a boot image. To boot we use a small C program to map the boot image into memory and then jump into the compiled Jikes RVM code. The bootstrap JVM is only needed for building; you can run Jikes RVM without any other JVM installed. Afty (talk) 20:54, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
