Java code gets "compiled" into a byte code by Just In Time compiler. This byte code is then run by Java Virtual Machine - a program that translates it into machine code instructions.

Thanks for the explanation.

Actually a JVM implementation can choose to "interpret" or "JIT compile and execute" a bytecode function. So the JIT term is more commonly used to describe the back-end rather than the front-end of compilation.
