Compiler

java.lang.Object

public final class Compiler extends Object

Placeholder class for environments which explicitly manage the action of a Just In Time (JIT) compiler. This class is usually implemented by the virtual machine vendor. The Android reference implementation does not (yet) contain such a JIT compiler, though other implementations may choose to provide one.

since: Android 1.0
