Maxine VM to be announced at JavaOne
The time has come.
At the JavaOne 2008 conference, we will finally reveal our new research VM for the Java platform, Maxine.
Furthermore, right then or shortly thereafter we will publish the Maxine source code under a GPLv2 license. It will show up at this address: https://maxine.dev.java.net/.
This will be a pre-alpha release in the true sense. There won't be full JVM functionality and you won't see competitive performance. However, let's just claim that it might be interesting to take a closer look at the design and estimate what it will signify in the near future...
We will also demonstrate and release the Maxine Inspector tool, which makes debugging a meta-circular VM a whole new experience.
