JikesRVM (Jikes Research Virtual Machine) is a research project from IBM to create an open-source Java virtual machine. The key difference from many other VMs is that it is implemented in Java and that is only uses a small amount of C code for accessing the operating system. This style of implementation is known as meta-circular. It uses Apache Harmony or GNU Classpath as a standard class library. The program is licensed under the Common Public License.

Since it is a research project, the emphasis of JikesRVM is on researching new technologies, as is apparent from the scientific publications it has spawned (over 190 papers as of 2008). [ [http://jikesrvm.org/Publications "JikesRVM research papers"] ]
