Can we have a single JVM on a system which has multiple OS?

Yes,you can install more than one jvm in your PC, because OS loads an instance of jvm (not whole jvm) in RAM. We can call different jvm like JDK 1.4 or JDK 1.6 by setting its path.

Is JVM available for all operating systems?

Yes you need to have a running jvm in order to execute .

Is JVM dependent on OS?

Jvm is platform dependent because we have different JVM for different operating system. JVM is one kind of interface or middleware between OS(Operating Systems) and java language. JVM provides the environment to execute the java file(. So JVM is platform dependent.

Is there only one JVM?

There’s one JVM per Java application. There shouldn’t be any connection between them unless you establish one, e.g. with networking. If you’re working inside of an IDE, the code you write generally runs in a separate JVM. The IDE will typically connect the separate JVM for debugging.

How many JVM will come if I run multiple java programs?

you have one JVM process which runs all your programs.

What OS does JVM run?

Much Java development work takes place on Windows, Solaris, Linux FreeBSD, primarily with the Oracle JVMs. Note the further complication of different 32-bit/64-bit varieties.

Is JVM independent of OS?

An important point to be noted is that while JAVA is platform-independent language, the JVM is platform-dependent. Different JVM is designed for different OS and byte code is able to run on different OS.

Is JVM a separate process?

Java Virtual Machine pooling is a separate process that contains the JVM controller. With JVM pooling, the JVM runs outside of the Forms runtime process. The JVM can also be shared by multiple Forms runtime processes. At runtime, Forms uses a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to execute Java code.

Can a JVM run without an operating system?

The Java specifications don’t require the JVM to run on top of an OS; that’s much of the reason behind the careful wording in the specs. BEA’s Project Bare Metalwas a JVM effort to run directly on hardware without an operating system, and OSvis a developing a JVM that will run on a hypervisor but without the need for a traditional OS.

Can We run multiple JVMs on a single machine?

Multiple JVMs can run on a single machine, as for example, for execution of applets a separate JVM may exist and another JVM can be started by the User for execution of Java Byte Code, on a single machine. Yes,you can install more than one jvm in your PC, because OS loads an instance of jvm (not whole jvm) in RAM.

What is the JVM in Java?

JVM is a part of JRE(Java Runtime Environment). Java applications are called WORA (Write Once Run Anywhere). This means a programmer can develop Java code on one system and can expect it to run on any other Java enabled system without any adjustment. This is all possible because of JVM.

How do I start a JVM?

If you have a Java JRE or JDK, then the simple way to start a JVM is to run the java command.
