    Are you asking if a given implementation of the JVM was done in Java? What if I told you Sun's implementations were done in Cobol? Would that change anything?

      The term native is generally used to refer to methods written in a language other than Java.

        Nope, but that would explain e.g. the Calendar API; no, that would've been some
        sort of RPG-II or RPG-III ...

        kind regards,
