      You can use git to download the source code to Jato:


      https://github.com/penberg/jato/

      Then check out README for instructions how to install dependencies and finally execute:

      <pre> make install</pre>


      to install Jato in $HOME/bin. You can then use Jato just like you would use java:

      <pre> jato -cp [jar-file] [class]</pre>

      Malva test suite sources from

      https://github.com/penberg/malva


      and run

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

About Jato

(logo)

Jato is an open source, JIT-only virtual machine for Java that aims to support the JVM specification version 2 including 1.5 amendments. It is not complete but you can run some Java applications with it on 32-bit x86 Linux machines. Jato uses Boehm GC as its garbage collector and GNU Classpath to provide essential Java run-time libraries. A port to the x86-64 architecture is currently ongoing.

from the profile of Pekka Enberg (penberg)

The code is mostly written in C.
