"java" command is used to run the application , but what is happening behind the scenes ?
does it start the JVM ?? or simply loads the class into the JVM ??
Do you know why Java programmers wear specs ? Its because they don't 'C#'

I think the answer is the same as I gave you to your other question. Same Java Language Specification link. Try ยง12.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
