Java compiler

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

A compiler for the Java language that converts source code into native machine code. Although this makes the program platform dependent since it only runs in one CPU family, it also runs the fastest when compiled into native machine language. The term may also refer to a Java just-in-time compiler (JIT compiler), which compiles all the Java bytecode downloaded from the server just before running the application. This is faster than interpreting the bytecode one line at a time, but it also takes time to compile the program. See Java.
