programming the JVM

Hi,

I'm wanting to program the JVM independant of a compiler by
emitting bytecodes directly and I have orderd the book by J Engel
'Programming for the JVM'.
The lead on this book from amazon is 4-6 weeks which (may?) turn
into never. Does anyone here have recommendations for alternate
texts (that are introductory/tutorial in nature, rather than
reference texts) and websites that may help me with this - so
I don't just sit kicking my heels while it possibly doesn't arrive?
I've hunted in most of the obvious places but nothing seems to
fit the need or cover the topics that the Engel book does
sensibly.

TIA

Chris

The obvious text is the JVM spec itself. I their are introductory
tutorials for ASM and BCEL that cover the contents of class files as
well as use of the libraries.
