I think you're using some confusing terminology, gil.  I would say that a
Java application is purely a data file containing the byte codes that
represent the Java program.  The interpreter is purely an executable file,
which reads its data (the application class file with the byte codes) and
interprets it.

As such, it does not make sense (to me) to talk of having a Java application
in LPA.  However, I believe you could have the interpreter in LPA if you
wanted.  (Though I will also admit I'm not an expert in that area.)
