Hello Java world

This canonical program

public class hello
{
  static public void main (String args[])
  {
    System.out.println("Hello, world!");
  }
}

compiled with Excelsior JET into a 64-bit Windows executable has been successfully run. After that, it has finished in time with the expected result. ;)

Note: Even though many runtime routines and native methods are still replaced with stubs, a lot of compiled Java code has been executed. This is an important milestone that shows we are moving in the right direction.

Stay tuned!

    That’s great news, can’t wait to once and for all free myself from the 32-bit compatibility layer that I’ve been forced to use for the better part of the last decade. As far as I’m concerned, Jet’s 32-bit counterpart need no longer be updated. Keep up the great work, guys.
