Java Intermediate Language (JIL) 1.0

David Eng Sable Research Group January 2002

Abstract The Java Intermediate Language (JIL) is a subset of XML and SGML. Its goal is to provide an intermediate representation of Java source code suitable for machine use. JIL benefits from the features of XML, such as extensibility and portability, while providing a common ground for software tools.

Thesis My thesis is the most comprehensive documentation available for JIL. Combining Static and Dynamic Data in Code Visualization Sable Thesis, August 2002 [ Sable ] [ PDF ] [ PS.GZ ]

Papers A compact version of my thesis was presented at the ACM SIGPLAN-SIGSOFT workshop on program analysis for software tools and engineering (PASTE '02). It provides a good overview of the benefits and applications of JIL and related tools.

Demos The following are demos which load sample classes into the online visualizers available below. Use these links if you want to try some sample interfaces, without having to generate your own JIL documents. JIMPLEX running on Prime.class [ server-side ]

Online Tools The following tools can be used to validate and visualize JIL documents from any box on the internet. Please note that client-side XML support is only available in modern browsers such as Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla 0.9.9.
