Just a little side issue but I was curious.
When Java apps are developed for Cocoa, do they get compiled fully or
left as byte-code to run on a vm or (shock!) are they JIT? Knowing that
cocoa/java is OSX only, it would make sense to fully compile the code -
like in any other language. If this is the case, what is the runtime
speed like? I've only had the (dubious) pleasure of using byte-code
compiled stuff on solaris machines.
It uses a VM. There may be a JIT either in place or in the works (in
seeding), but Java does not get compiled down to native code. That would
make it only as portable as, say, C code...8-)
