JRockit, a proprietary Java virtual machine (JVM) originally developed by Appeal Virtual Machines and acquired by BEA Systems in 2002, became part of Oracle Fusion Middleware in 2008.
The JRockit code base and the HotSpot virtual machine from Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) are currently being integrated, with the target of releasing a JVM with a combined code base around the release date of JDK 8.
JRockit was made free and publicly available in May 2011.
Many JRE class files distributed with JRockit exactly replicate those distributed with HotSpot. JRockit overrides class files which relate closely to the JVM, therefore retaining API compatibility while enhancing the performance (processing speed) of the JVM.
Following the finalization of the acquisition of Sun Microsystems, Oracle announced in JavaOne 2010 that the best features of JRockit would be implemented in OpenJDK.
In May 2011, Oracle announced that JRockit has become free, confirming that they plan to port JRockit features on OpenJDK.
All is still in the middle of the night
My hearts on fire it's burning bright
There's nowhere i can run and nowhere ican hide
The devil's outside my window
He's whispering my name and telling me his plan
Tappin on the window with a bony red hand
He's telling me son you better start this show
The devil's outside my window
There's a bottle in my left hand my pride's in my right
There's an angel in the closet but it's locked up tight
And there's a voice inside my head saying you'll pay as you go
The devil's outside my window
He's rattling his bones and i'm shaking in my shoes
He's making me an offer that i can't refuse
I know i'll say yes cause i can't say no
To the devil outside my window
Tap tap tappin
Tap tap tappin
Tap tap tappin on my window
I know what's right but i think that what's wrong
Is that life's so hard and i ain't that strong
So heaven please help me cause it's hell here below
