Those two classes Real-Time for Java provides are very interesting, but I see them as classes representing physical memory area by nature rather than virtual memory. Those classes are not just suitable for the purpose of dealing with virtual memory. It is possible to implement RawMemoryAccess and RawMemoryFloatAccess which have modified semantics in which they represent virtual memory. But this semantics change seems to be not very neat.
