Internal processing of .class files on jvm

Dear Friend

You must follow this link

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/2nd-edition/html/ClassFile.doc.html#80959

to get clear concept about .class file internals.

If U have good idea about Instruction set Architecture Or Assemble Programming then You will get special advantage through out this study.

If you want to see where class files start in the JVM and you have the Mustang source code, you could start with src/share/vm/runtime/classFileParser.cpp.

If you want to see how the various garbage collectors work, you could start from src/share/vm/gc_interface/collectedHeap.hpp, and then find the various implemenations of CollectedHeap. But that will be a slog. It might be better if you asked questions, or read some of our JavaOne talks, or the whitepaper at http://java.sun.com/j2se/reference/whitepapers/memorymanagement_whitepaper.pdf, though that's probably too high level if you want to actually implement a new collector. What properties do you want your new collector to have?

You might want to start a project under https://jdk-research.dev.java.net/ for your work.
