Is there any interpretation going on today in the jvm or is simply
everything compiled to machinecode just in time before execution?

Depends on the JIT. The default JIT from Sun ("HotSpot")
will initially interpret the code. As the interpreter runs, HotSpot
then
analyzes the runtime behavior and try to identify which methods
should be compiled to native code.

See this section on Sun.com:
