Abstract:

JML, which stands for "Java Modeling Language," is a behavioral interface specification language (BISL) designed to specify Java modules. JML features a great deal of syntactic sugar that is designed to make specifications more expressive. This paper presents a desugaring process that boils down all of the syntactic sugars in JML into a much simpler form. This desugaring will help one manipulate JML specifications in tools, understand the meaning of these sugars, and it also allows the use of JML specifications in verification.
