About: J/Direct

An Entity of Type: company, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

J/Direct was a technology included in some versions of Microsoft Java Virtual Machine, which allowed direct calls into the Windows API. J/Direct was specific of Microsoft's Virtual Machine, in replacement of the standard Java Native Interface (JNI). A Java program which used J/Direct would not run on platforms other than Microsoft Windows. The release of J/Direct (along with AFC and WFC), was part of an effort by Microsoft to gain leadership on the growing Java community.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • J/Direct war eine in einigen Versionen von Microsofts Java Virtual Machine enthaltene Technologie, die direkte Aufrufe in die Windows API erlaubte. J/Direct ersetzte in Microsofts virtueller Maschine das Java Native Interface. Die Veröffentlichung von J/Direct (zusammen mit AFC und WFC) war Teil von Microsofts Strategie, die Führungsrolle in der wachsenden Java-Community zu übernehmen. Java-Programme, die J/Direct benutzten, waren nur unter Microsoft Windows lauffähig. Das wurde als Versuch Microsofts gesehen, einen der größten Vorteile von Java, dessen Plattformunabhängigkeit, zunichtezumachen – ganz im Sinne der Taktik Embrace, Extend and Extinguish. Nachdem Microsoft seine eigene Java Virtual Machine aufgegeben hatte und der Wechsel zur .NET-Umgebung vollzogen war, wurde J/Direct nicht mehr weiterentwickelt. (de)

A Java program which used J/Direct would not run on platforms other than Microsoft Windows. The release of J/Direct (along with AFC and WFC), was part of an effort by Microsoft to gain leadership on the growing Java community. Since this destroyed one of the main advantages of Java, its cross-platform nature, J/Direct was often seen as an attempt by Microsoft to undermine Java's cross-platform capabilities, and an example of the tactic of embrace, extend and extinguish. After the drop by Microsoft of their specific Java virtual machine, and the switch to the .NET environment, J/Direct was no longer maintained. (en)
