Yes, it's called jasmin. Is there a reason you need this though? In a jit environment, especially a stack based one like the JVM, there are very few things you'll be able to do better than the jvm. There are many things you can do better than the compiler, but that really doesn't matter, because at runtime, the code is constantly optimized. http://jasmin.sourceforge.net/ Take care, Sina -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John J.
