Java virtual machine (JVM)
Software that interprets Java programs, class files, or jar files. Measurement data is collected for Java code in conjunction with recent versions of the most commonly used JVMs. For a list of JVMs supported by PureCoverage, see the Readme file for IBM Rational PurifyPlus.
Use the JVM tab of the Preferences dialog box to specify your JVM before you profile Java code.
Note:
Data collection from the JVM relies on the Java Virtual Machine Profiling Interface (JVMPI), as described in the Java 2 standard and implemented in Sun Microsystems' reference release. It is possible that IBM Rational PureCoverage will work with Java 2 compliant JVMs from vendors other than IBM and Sun, but IBM Rational Software does not guarantee this.
