IcedTea-web provides a free-software Java Web browser plugin. It was the first to work in 64-bit browsers under 64-bit Linux, a feature Sun's proprietary JRE later addressed. [27] This makes it suitable to enable support for Java applets in 64-bit Mozilla Firefox, among others.

Free Java implementations are software projects that implement Oracle's Java technologies and are distributed under free software licences, making them free software. Sun released most of its Java source code as free software in May 2007, so it can now almost be considered a free Java implementation. [ 1 ]
Following their promise to release a Java Development Kit (JDK) based almost completely on free and open-source code in the first half of 2007, [11] Sun released the complete source code of the Java Class Library under the GPL on May 8, 2007, except for some limited parts that had been licensed to Sun by third parties and Sun was unable to re-license under the GPL.

A Java program running on a Windows Vista desktop (supported by Java 8, but not officially by later versions, such as Java 11) desktop computer. Current Java is supported on 64-bit Windows 10 (and Server 2016) and later, 64-bit macOS 13.x and later, and 64-bit Linux (e.g. Oracle Enterprise Linux).
The JNA library uses a small native library called foreign function interface library to dynamically invoke native code.The JNA library uses native functions allowing code to load a library by name and retrieve a pointer to a function within that library, and uses libffi library to invoke it, all without static bindings, header files, or any compile phase.
Excelsior JET is a now-defunct proprietary Java SE technology implementation built around an ahead-of-time (AOT) Java to native code compiler. The compiler transforms the portable Java bytecode into optimized executables for the desired hardware and operating system (OS).
Java bytecode is the instruction set of the Java virtual machine (JVM), the language to which Java and other JVM-compatible source code is compiled. [1] Each instruction is represented by a single byte , hence the name bytecode , making it a compact form of data .
