Hello Monu,
The Symantec JIT compiler, isn't a binding time compiler, it is a run
time compiler. It is activated when you run a program in your Java VM.
The code run though this compiler is optimized on the fly. byte code
still needs to be executed in a VM, and the JIT optimizes it so it
runs faster. Using the compiler in Cafe 1.1 to compile JDK 1.1.X code,
and then running it in Sun's VM with our JIT turned on will give you
all the benefits of the new JIT!
