Real tiny JVM?

[daniel.w.gelder]

I was wondering if there was a real tiny virtual machine that could be
embedded into native projects? Something with a basic garbage collector
and language support, but not necessarily AWT and network stuff.

Thanks

Check out the "TINI" microcontrollers from Dallas Semiconductor / Maxim.

Haha, that is "TINI" all right.

But I meant, something to run on desktops, embedded in a regular
executable.

Yes, I realized that -- right after I hit "Send." My apologies. I am an
Embedded s/w engineer, so when I saw the word "embedded" in your post,
naturally I assumed that you were building an embedded device.

There is an open source GNU JVM implementation. You could cut it down to
make it arbitrarily small.

Or you may simply want to natively compile your byte code if that is
applicable.
