Abstract

Java for embedded devices is today synonym of “embeddable pseudo-Java”. Embedded flavors of Java introduce incompatibilities against the standard edition and break its portability rule. In this paper, we introduce a way to embed applications written for Java 2 Standard Edition. The applications are pre-deployed into a virtual Java execution environment, which is analyzed in order to tailor the embedded Java virtual machine according to their runtime needs. Experiments reveal that this method produces customized virtual machines that are comparable in size to existing embedded Java solutions, while being more flexible and preserving standard Java compatibility.
