CACAO Wiki

CACAO is a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which uses Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation to execute Java methods natively. It runs on quite a few CPU architectures. CACAO can use GNU Classpath as the Java core library; nowadays the more popular option for using CACAO is as the JIT compilation back-end for OpenJDK. CACAO is fully integrated into the IcedTea build process.
