Method for platform specific efficiency enhancement of java programs and software product therefor

A method of creating a platform specific Java program from a cross platform Java program, comprising:

• defining a Constant class to declare selected variables associated with the cross platform Java program as constants;
• defining a Specialized class providing functions to specialized classes associated with the cross platform Java program with respect to the declared constants;
• evaluating the cross platform Java program in a Java run time environment using the declared constants;
• and
• modifying at least one of the classes associated with the cross platform Java program to thereby produce modified classes delimiting the platform specific Java program.

A method of creating a platform specific Java program from a cross platform Java program, comprising:

• (a) defining a first Java class which provides the ability to declare constants;
• (b) defining a second Java class which provides functions that specialize other classes with respect to the declared constants in the first Java class;
• (c) using the first Java class to declare specific constants pertinent to desired platform support capabilities;
• (d) using the second Java class to register specialization functions which provide the desired platform support capabilities;
• (e) analyzing the execution of a Java application with respect to the constants in the first Java class;
• and
• (f) based on the results of the analysis of the constants, performing resultant actions comprising selected ones of ignoring, generating, and supplying appropriate desired code using the registered specialization functions specified by the second Java class.

A computer program product in a computer readable medium of instructions for creating a platform specific Java application from a cross platform Java application, comprising:

• instructions within the computer readable medium for receiving a cross platform Java application;
• instructions within the computer readable medium for declaring at least one of the variables associated with the cross platform Java application to be a constant;
• and
• instructions within the computer readable medium for purging unused functions and associated variables from the cross platform Java application to thereby produce the platform specific Java application.
