[ddp] kaffe : A JVM to run Java bytecode

[daily-debian-package at enix.org]

Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package kaffe, which is part
of the interpreters section, and maintained by Debian Java Maintainers
<pkg-java-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>. 

This package contains : A JVM to run Java bytecode.

A virtual machine designed to execute Java bytecode. Kaffe is a bit different
from the non-free JVMs in that there is not one package for a JRE and one
package for a JDK. Kaffe provides most of the functionality people expect from
a Java Development Kit (JDK). Depending on the architecture it either provides
an interpreter engine or a JIT engine (Just-in-time) for execution. If the JIT
engine is available Kaffe performs "just-in-time" code conversion from the
abstract code to the host machine's native code. This will ultimately allow
execution of bytecode at the same speed as standard compiled code but while
maintaining the advantages and flexibility of code independence.
