+ <question>
+ <para>I tried running a Java program under Valgrind but Valgrind aborted.
+ Does Valgrind handle Java programs, dynamically generated code, etc?

+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>Valgrind handles dynamically generated code without a problem.
+ In theory, Valgrind can run any Java program just fine, even those that
+ use JNI and are partially implemented in other languages like C and C++.
+ In practice, Java implementations tend to do nasty things that most
+ programs do not, and Valgrind sometimes falls over these corner
+ cases.</para>
+ <para>If your Java programs do not run under Valgrind, please file a
+ bug report and hopefully we'll be able to fix the problem.</para>
