Several white papers about real-time systems and why you should real-time java in your next project. Aonix is one of the leading providers of real-time java platforms. They are also the only provider of a safety-critical java platform that can be used for DO-178B Level A. (Perc Raven).

Standard java libraries are not optimized for real-time world, for example standard ArrayList because it expands at runtime when needed. This implementation adds significant indeterminism. Javolution provides replacement libraries for text processing, io, collections etc. optimized for real-time applications.
