Excelsior JET is intended to be used by developers and development teams creating client- and server-side software in the Java programming language, targeting (primarily) Microsoft Windows and/or Linux on the Intel x86 (IA-32) platform, and interested in one or more of the following:
- Improvement of application performance in comparison with the latest VMs
- Improvement of application scalability (e.g. handling more simultaneous connections on the same hardware)
- Application memory footprint reduction
- Application startup time reduction
- Protection of applications against reverse engineering
- Application disk footprint/download size reduction (only possible for applications not using AWT or Swing at the moment.)
- Easy Windows-style application deployment
- Transformation of Java applications into conventional Windows EXE and DLLs (typical requirement in Microsoft-only shops)
