Jolt is a Java Virtual Machine Daemon designed to manage Java applications by providing seamless integration and enhanced performance.
Jolt is primarily designed to help make Java code compilation faster when using make. In fact, it could be faster than even Jakarta Ant. Additionally, it's versatile enough to run all kinds of Java programs with ease. It's particularly useful for command-line utilities that are run frequently, where relaunching the JVM constantly would be too time-consuming.
To use Jolt, simply use the `runjolt' shell script as a wrapper for the `jolt' binary. This script checks for the JAVA_HOME environment variable, which should be set to the top-level installation directory of JDK 1.4.0 or later. It then augments LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly before invoking `jolt' proper. Overall, Jolt is a user-friendly, efficient option that's perfect for any Java developer.
