I've heard the terms Java Virtual Machine and JVM. Is this Java software?


The Java Virtual Machine is only one aspect of Java software that is involved in web interaction. The Java Virtual Machine is built right into your Java software download, and helps the Sun JRE run Java applications.

To enable Sun Java Virtual Machine as the default JVM, please refer to:

Switching between the Microsoft VM and the Sun JVM
