Crafting avionics display applications in JavaTM

Java has emerged as a set of compelling technologies for the development and deployment of object-oriented applications. The safety features of Java, coupled with its simplified object model and language support for multithreading, has much appeal in the avionics domain. However, concerns over the size, speed and determinism of off-the-shelf Java environments have prompted caution in the real-time embedded community. One can create traditional statically allocated avionics applications in Java. In particular, a JEM/Java avionics display prototype showed performance and memory space improvement
