What
is JIT?
(Just-In-Time
compiler) A compiler that converts program source code into native machine code
just before the program is run. In the case of Java, a JIT compiler converts
Java's intermediate language (bytecode) into native machine code as needed. It
tries to predict which instructions will be executed next so that it can
compile the code in advance. Compiled code resides in memory until the
application is closed.
