IBM's Jikes compiler became OpenSource. I didn't read the licensing
conditions but I assume that you'll be allowed to look at the code.


Alphaworks is IBM's Java related Web site:
http://www.alphaWorks.ibm.com/Home/


It leads you finally to http://www.research.ibm.com/jikes/, the Java
compiler home page.


If you're just interested in the Java Virtual Machine:


  o SUN made Java 2.0 Open Source
  o KAFFE (see http://www.transvirtual.com/) is another JVM that comes
      with source code

Right. There are other compilers can generate code for the JVM in the
meantime, e.g. the Eiffel compiler from ISE.
