JamVM is an open source Java Virtual Machine (JVM) developed to be extremely small compared with other virtual machines (VMs) while conforming to the Java virtual machine specification version 2 (blue book).

The recent versions support object finalization, Soft/Weak/Phantom References, the Java Native Interface (JNI) and the Reflection API. The garbage collector can run either synchronously or asynchronously within its own thread.

JamVM currently supports the CPUs: AMD64, ARM, i80486, MIPS, and PowerPC. Like other open-source VMs, JamVM uses GNU Classpath as a class library.
