Some projects provide Java assemblers to enable writing Java bytecode by hand. Assembler code may be also generated by machine, for example by compiler targeting [[Java virtual machine]]. Notable Java assemblers include:

* [[Jasmin (Java assembler)|Jasmin]], takes textual descriptions for Java classes, written in a simple assembler-like syntax using Java Virtual Machine instruction set and generates a Java class file <ref>[http://jasmin.sourceforge.net Jasmin Home Page<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

* [[Jamaica (Java assembler)|Jamaica]], a [[Macro (computer science)|macro]] [[assembly language]] for the [[Java virtual machine]]. Java syntax is used for class or interface definition. Method bodies are specified using bytecode instructions. <ref>[http://www.judoscript.com/articlesorg/jamaica.html Jamaica: The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) Macro Assembler<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

Others developed compilers for different programming languages targeting Java virtual machine, such as
