Generating Java bytecode: Write yourself a compiler, Part V

Last time we created a virtual machine for our toy language. I think you can agree that designing a language which barely recognizes expressions like 2 + 3w and building a brand-new virtual machine for it seems a bit tedious. So what about keeping our microscopic language for now, but running it on a real, production-ready, battle-proven virtual machine? Like the Java Virtual Machine? Our task for today is to emit JVM bytecode in the form of a valid .class file. That file can then be fed directly to the JVM to run our program.
