I use jrew.exe to run java applications that I build with JBuilder.

What exactly is a JIT?  My understanding is that it is a Just in Time
compiler - but java is not compiled (atleast not fully) rather it is
interpreted... right?  Why does this not seem to make sense?

Symantec Cafe has a JIT (that is licensed to Netscape)... which means what?
 Does a JIT provide a Java VM?  Does Borland provide one?

Finally is it possible to use something other than jrew.exe to speed up
WinXX applications?

Thanks in advance,
