Maybe a z/Java guest someday?
Jack, I think you're talking about a CPU that executes Java byte codes - that doesn't require any external JIT. That's not what a zAAP does. A zAAP runs z/Architecture instructions just like any other CPU, so a JIT is still required to translate Java byte codes to z/Architecture. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
