Example from Riju:

.class public Main
.super java/lang/Object

.method public <init>()V
    aload_0
    invokenonvirtual java/lang/Object/<init>()V
    return
.end method

.method public static main([Ljava/lang/String;)V
    .limit stack 2
    getstatic java/lang/System/out Ljava/io/PrintStream;
    ldc "Hello, world!"
    invokevirtual java/io/PrintStream/println(Ljava/lang/String;)V
    return
.end method

Example from hello-world:

.class public Jasmin
.super java/lang/Object

.method public static main([Ljava/lang/String;)V
	.limit stack 2
	getstatic java/lang/System/out Ljava/io/PrintStream;
	ldc "Hello World"
	invokevirtual java/io/PrintStream/println(Ljava/lang/String;)V
	return
.end method

Example from Linguist:

.class public op2
.super java/lang/Object
;
; standard initializer (calls java.lang.Object's initializer)
;
.method public <init>()V
aload_0
invokenonvirtual java/lang/Object/<init>()V
return
.end method

.method public static main([Ljava/lang/String;)V

.limit locals 1
.limit stack 5
