Line 5: It is possible to write Java bytecode by hand, however this method is almost never used in real life because nowadays the [[compiler]]s are able to compile well performing code and nearly no person is able to comprehend a piece of Java bytecode of considerable size. Originally only one compiler existed, the [[javac]] compiler from Sun Microsystems, which compiles [[Java source code]] to Java bytecode. But because all the specifications for Java bytecode are available, other parties have supplied compilers that produce Java bytecode. E.g.: * [[Jikes]], compiles from the Java programming language to Java bytecode * [[JGNAT]] and [[AdaMagic\|AppletMagic]], ~~compiles~~compile from the [[Ada programming language]] to Java bytecode * Espresso, compiles from the Java programming language to Java bytecode, only Java 1.0 * [[GCJ\|Gnu Compiler for Java]], GCJ, compiles from the Java programming language to Java bytecode, is also able to compile to native machine code.
