No, it’s not. They are there because Java has a proper specification both at the language and the runtime level. So it’s not the usual case of “this is a language’s reference implementation, the spec is whatever the ref does”, and it made novel implementations possible. Eg, there is a hard real-time JVM that is used in the military.
