Java 05 - How to Disable the JIT (22-February-1999)

Q: How do I disable the JIT?

A: You can manually move the “MRJ Symantec JITC” library file out of the MRJ Libraries folder; move it outside the System Folder, but not into the same folder as the application you are running. Because of the way shared libraries are loaded, if the library file is located in the same folder as the application running Java, whether the application is a browser, the Apple Applet Runner, JBindery, or a double-clickable JBound application, the JIT library will be located and activated. Programmatically, you can call the method Compiler.disable() from the beginning of your program's main() method.
