I've never seen a diagrammatic view of the JRE (As opposed to the JVM
which basically breaks down into two blocks, a class loader and a
bytecode executor.)

So there's also Registers, Arithmetic and Logic, a bytecode verifier
(part of the bytecode executor), a heap allocation scheme, IO, and I'm
sure i'm forgetting stuff. I'd like to see a picture of it too.

You could download the source code for SableVM (http://sablevm.org/) and
use various tools to generate UML diagrams for you.

Etienne Gagnon's paper can be downloaded from
http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/publications/papers/#jvm01 (there's two pictures
in it).

By far the best tool for this kind of "pictorial architecture" is
Structure101 from www.headwaysoftware.com. Just point it at the jars to
get a complete browsable model of the sub-components and dependencies
at every level. Great fun!

Chris.
