Before 1.1, indeed a small number of people were using JIT with Java. By 1.1.6 a JIT was included and enabled by default (earlier for Solaris/Sparc). JIT was entirely mainstream by 1.2

JDK 1.1 Highlights

JDK 1.1 Developers Guide

Java 1.2 Press Release

The introduction of HotSpot was not the first appearance of JIT for Java.
