Called Jazelle, the Java extensions are applied in a manner similar to the way Thumb extensions allow a 16-bit ARM instruction set to be executed on the 32-bit ARM pipeline. "In effect it is a another ...

Performance is an issue constantly raised about the Java platform. Java's portability is also a major disadvantage, as bytecode must always undergo some form of conversion to run on the native ...
