It depends on what you mean by *run* ?

Jasmin is itself written in Java and should work w/ pretty much
any JVM (ex. it runs perfectly w/ SableVM).

But OTOH - it *can* produce assembly, that may crash JVM or cause
the the Verifier to deny running such code. But it's all under your
control. If you screw up method stack size, or control flow - YOU
did that. Yes - that's why you want assembly sometimes :-)
(No, not necessarily to break into people's computers, but ex. to
write tests for JVMs)
