Key Founders

Java was the brainchildof:

James Gosling

Patrick Naughton

Mike Sheridan

The origin of Javacan be traced back to the fall of 1991, and was

initially called Greentalk later renamed to Oak.

Oak was renamed as Java in 1995

Design Goal

Java was originally meant to be a platform-neutral language for

embedded software in devices.

The goal was to move away from platform and

and OS-specific compilers
that would compile source for a particular target platform to a language
that would be portable, and platform-independent.

The languagecould be used to produce platform-neutralcode.

Compile the source code using java compiler, which will create bytecode file with .class

Step5:

JVM reads bytecodes and translates into machine code for execution. While execution of the

program the code will interact to the operating system and hardware

 The 5 phases of Java Programs
Java programs can typically be developedin five stages:

1. Edit

Use an editor to typeJava program (Welcome.java)

2. Compile

• Use a compiler to translate Java program into an intermediate language called

bytecodes, understood by Java interpreter (javacWelcome.java)

• Use a compiler to create .class file, containing bytecodes(Welcome.class)

3. Loading
Use a class loader to read bytecodes from .class file into memory

4. Verify

Use a Bytecode verifier to make sure bytecodes are valid and do not violate security

restrictions

5. Execute

Java Virtual Machine (JVM) uses a combination of interpretation and just-in-time

compilation to translate bytecodes into machine language

• Applications are run on user's machine, i.e. executed by interpreter with java command

The Java Architecture -TheJVM (Contd.).
Most modern languagesaredesigned to be compiled

Compilation is a one-time exercise and executes faster

Execution of compiled code over the Internet an impossibility

Executable code always generated to a CPU-OS combination

Interpreting a Java program into byte code facilitates its execution in a wide variety of
environments
The Java Architecture - The JVM (Contd.).
Only the Java Virtual Machine (JVM)needs to be implemented for each platform

Once the Java runtimepackage exists for a given system,any Java program can run on it

The JVM will differ from platform to platform, and is,platform-spe

All versions ofJVM interprets the Java byte codes.

The Java Architecture - The JVM (Contd.).
Interpreted code runs much slower compared to executable code

The use of bytecode enables the Java runtime system to execute programs much faster

Java facilitates on-the-fly compilation of bytecode into native code

The Java Architecture -The Adaptive optimizer
Another type of execution engine is an adaptive optimizer

- The virtual machine starts by interpreting bytecodes

It also keeps a tab on the code that is running and identifies only the heavily used areas

The JVM compilesthese heavily used areas of code into native code

The rest of the code, which is not heavily used continues to be interpreted and executed

The Java Architecture -The Class Loader

The class loaderis that part of the VM that is importantfrom:

A security standpoint

Network mobility

The class loader loads a compiled Java source file (.class files represented as bytecode) into

the Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

The bootstrap class loader is responsible for loading the classes, programmer defined clas:

as well as Java's API classes

The Java Architecture - The Java .classfile

The Java class file is designed for

platform independence

network mobility

The class file is compiled to a target JVM, but independent of underlying hostplatforms

The Java class file is a binary file that has the capability to run on any platform
