A developer claims that Java 7's new bytecode verifier slows performance and increases coding effort, potentially affecting the entire Java ecosystem.

Furthermore, the javap tool can show you the bytecode that the compiler created for the class and provide insight about how the component performs its logic. The javap command-line interface tool ...

The extreme ease with which Java .class files can be reconstructed into Java sources that closely resemble the originals has a lot to do with Java byte-code design goals and trade-offs. Among ...

JBoss has released Byteman 2.0.0, an open source Java bytecode manipulation tool licensed under GNU LGPL 2.1. Byteman is a Java agent which helps testing, tracing, and monitoring code. It allows ...

It's a fair question to ask: Is Java slow? If you focus solely on performance time and resource consumption, it lags behind C++, but overall Java is still quite fast.

The Jazelle technology extends this concept by adding a third instruction set, Java bytecode, to the capability of the processor, together with a new Java state.
