Home Maxine VM: A VM in Java Maxine VM is an open source meta-circular JVM from Sun. Maxine is a VM designed for and written in the Java(TM) Programming Language with an emphasis on leveraging meta-circularity, componentized design, and code reuse to achieve flexibility, configurability, and productivity for academic and industrial virtual machine researchers.
