In fact, Sun has several JVMs. HotSpot JVM is written primarily in C ++ because HotSpot is heavily based on the Animorphic Smalltalk VM , which is written in C ++ .

More interesting than HotSpot is IMHO Maxine Research VM , which is (almost) completely in Java .

Strictly speaking, C ++ (JVM code uses the capabilities of C ++ OO).
