Clone of NestedVM repository.
Toolchain hint: Most folks have moved on to gcc-4.x. NestedVM uses gcc-3.x, and requires gcc-3.x to build its toolchain. Clang appears to work as a decent substitute (make CC=clang) - I used clang version 3.2 (tags/RELEASE_32/final) / Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu / Thread model: posix.
From the original site:
NestedVM provides binary translation for Java Bytecode. This is done by having GCC compile to a MIPS binary which is then translated to a Java class file. Hence any application written in C, C++, Fortran, or any other language supported by GCC can be run in 100% pure Java with no source changes.
NestedVM was created by Brian Alliet and Adam Megacz.
David Crawshaw has also made significant contributions.
