I’m after a book to learn about the internals of the Java virtual machine.
I found this thread but it is two years old now.
Are there any newer JVM books which reflect the recent updates?
Would any of the books from that link be good to read or should I avoid any of them because they are too out of date?
Do you know any books which have been published since?
One of the best Java books I have read.

Its called “Java Performance” but its really about low level, useful things to know about the JVM from one of the developers. i.e. not just about performance. Published 2012.

BTW: Most books take 1 – 2 years to write/publish so if you want the most up to date information, it best to find the information yourself (after reading a good book so you know all the basics).
