Java compiles to a virtual CPU (call it JCPU) - Delphi compiles to a real
one (intel IA32).
Delphi can ONLY run on a machine that provides an IA32 CPU - be that a real
one, or something virtual as in SoftPC.
Java is the same, but currently, no viable JCPU's exist in "silicon", only
in software ("Java Virtual Machine", but it runs on various platforms)
Hence, the JVM runs your app on the fly, tho by putting a JIT (just-in-time)
compiler in there messies it up a little, as you are usually running native
code which has been created from the java byte code.
Make less sense?
Oddly enough, noone has mentioned the advantages of running in a JVM yet,
just the disadvantages (like, _some_ speed and size)
