JRE Virtual Appliance?
jparr 11th Feb 2010
In a similar vein, it would be cool to see a "hardware JVM" (which would be just a JM), implemented as a VMWare appliance.

The goal would be to eliminate Windows / Linux running between the hypervisor (VMWare ESX) and the JRE, running a "native built" JRE tailored to the virtual hardware.

The JM could have a virtual bootstrap with basic configuration about what processes to kick off, sequence and dependency, update capability, a scheduler, and a few other necessary components.

I've read about Atom-based hardware that "boots-to-Java" today, but I think a virtual appliance would be much more useful.
