The Maxine virtual machine is an open source virtual machine that is developed at the University of Manchester.^[2] It was formerly developed by Sun Microsystems Laboratories,^[3] since renamed Oracle Labs. The emphasis in Maxine's software architecture is on modular design and code reuse for flexibility, configurability, and productivity for industrial and academic virtual machine researchers. It is one of a growing number of Java virtual machines written entirely in Java in a meta-circular style. Examples include Squawk and Jikes RVM.
