  • Project Mackinac: Sun's Real-time Java Platform

    Project Mackinac is the first commercial implementation by Sun Microsystems of JSR-01, the Real-time Specification for Java (RTSJ), which combines industrial-strength real-time functionality with the usability, abstraction, and standards-based advantages of Java technology. Project Mackinac supports both hard real-time and non-real-time functionality concurrently within a single JVM. Based on the Java Hotspot platform, Project Mackinac delivers performance that is competitive with compiled solutions such as real-time C++, while retaining the ease of use and high-level abstractions that make Java so popular among developers and system architects

    The first release of Project Mackinac will address the needs of real-time systems that are integrated as part of a larger system solution, targeting applications that include monitoring, control, and management functions.
