There seems to be no way to disable the JIT via an
an instantiation of the VM via JNI. There are fields
in the JDK1_1InitArgs structure that map to the
various command-line arguments to java.exe. However,
no field that maps to -nojit. In jdk1.1.5 it was
possible to set the java.compiler property to either
a JIT module or not set it at all and it was turned
off by default. In jdk 1.1.6, it is always turned on
and there is no intuitive way to turn it off. I have
tried the following:

Define a property -nojit (from a doc on javasoft's site)
Define a property java.compiler= with no value.
define a property java.compiler=nojit.

Various documents onSun's site andJavaSoft have
vaguely implied that some combination of the above
will work but I have tried every possible permutation
with no luck.
