JIT 
just-in-time compiler 
A code generator that converts Java bytecode into machine code designed to run on specific computer hardware, just before the Java program is run. Although a JIT works much like a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), it does its job more quickly. Java programs often run faster with a JIT than with a JVM.
