SableVM was a clean room implementation of Java bytecode interpreter implementing the Java virtual machine (VM) specification, second edition. SableVM was designed to be a robust, extremely portable, efficient, and fully specifications-compliant (JVM spec, Java Native Interface, Invocation interface, Debug interface, etc.) Java Virtual Machine that would be easy to maintain and to extend.[citation needed] It is now no longer being maintained.

The implementation was a part of the effort in the early 2000s to break the Java ecosystem free from Sun Microsystems's control.[1][2][3]
