Abstract :
The Java 7 platform includes the invokedynamic opcode in its virtual machine, a feature that lets programmers define-and dynamically change-the linkage of method call sites, thereby maintaining platform optimizations. A comprehensive evaluation of a new library´s performance includes a description of how to optimize real Java applications.
