As a result of the January 2001 settlement of a dispute over Microsoft’s distribution of its Java implementation, Microsoft has been phasing out the Microsoft Virtual Machine for Java (MSJVM) in its products.
This guide outlines how to migrate to alternative environments, including both Microsoft-supported and non-Microsoft options. It provides step-by-step instructions for evaluating, planning, and transitioning existing applications, and describes a number of strategies to achieve independence from MSJVM. The evaluating discussion covers using the Microsoft JVM diagnostic tool to assess the current situation.
This guide supplements another Microsoft guide, Microsoft Java Virtual Machine Transition Guide for Developers, which has low level information on tools and alternative technologies.
