rust-jvm

A basic experiment about implementing the JVM (Java SE 8) in Rust (http://www.rust-lang.org), maybe inspired by jvm.go

Current status: WIP

Documentation: http://kokakiwi.github.io/rust-jvm/jvm/index.html

JVM specification documentation: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/

Currently, the library can only parse almost all the Java .class file and print it.

The rjvm executable only take a class name, parse it and print it.
