Hi raj, In java there is two parts one is java compiler and anothere is java virtual machine. Java Compiler is a pure java program written in java languages.But Java virtual machine is also a program but it is written in C language. If you want to see it then you have to some IDE like eclipse or Jbuilder through this IDE you have to open rt.jar file which will be in side your jdk1.5/what version you are using.

what rt.jar proves,does it says that compiler is written in java because rt.jar contains some class files.I have seen rt.jar through eclipse.How to prove that jvm is written in C.Infact,please tell what all is included in the jvm,does it include all utilities to run .class files,but that is in jre..then what is jvm.

In addition, the class libraries are a mixture of Java and C. You can take a look at them (they come with the JDK in a file called src.zip), and while most clases are in Java, some have methods labelled "native' - those are implemented in C. The complete source of the JDK is available under a license called something like the "Sun Research License" (?), if you want to take an in-depth look at it.
JVM itself is written in C which has its source code (C/C++ code) available for download on suns's site.

It's simply on the JDK download page. Scroll down to "J2SE 5.0 JDK Source Code". By the way, the source is available, but it is not open source yet. Sun is planning to make the source available under an open source license before the end of 2006.
