In addition to altered names, if the association between class byte-code offsets and source line numbers is altered, recovering the original exception stack traces could become difficult.

Find out how Avian, Codename One, J2ObjC, RoboVM, and XMLVM resolve the challenges of Java-to-iOS native client development, including garbage collection versus automatic reference counting (ARC).

A Java compiler translates Java source code into Java byte code. Only one byte code is then accepted by any environment capable of running Java.

Newly discovered campaign takes advantage of the fact that most vulnerability scanning tools don't read compiled open-source software.

Not anymore. Last year, [Michael] wrote Java Grinder, a Java byte-code compiler that compiles classes into assembly language instead of being part of a JVM.

By injecting malicious bytecode into interpreters for VBScript, Python, and Lua, researchers found they can circumvent malicious code detection.
