JavaScript (ES6), 110 104 bytes

Saved 4 bytes thanks to edc65

let f =

|2J5|1\\
|3A4|1|
|4V3|1|
|5A2|__/
\\9/`.replace(/\d/g,n=>' _'[n>>3].repeat(++n))

console.log(f())

How it works

The compression of the original ASCII art is achieved by replacing all sequences of 2 to 10 consecutive spaces and the two sequences of 10 consecutive underscores with a single digit:

  • Each sequence of N consecutive spaces is encoded with the digit N-1.
  • The underscore sequences are encoded with a 9.

We use N-1 rather than N so that we never have to use more than one digit. Hence the need for ++n when decoding.

The expression n>>3 (bitwise shift to the right) equals 0 for n = 1 to n = 7 and equals 1 for n = 8 (not used) and n = 9. Therefore, ' _'[n>>3] gives an underscore for 9, and a space for all other encountered values.

The only special case is the sequence of 10 consecutive spaces just above "JAVA". Encoding it with a 9 would conflict with the underscore sequences. So we need to split it into two sequences of 5 spaces, encoded as 44.

Jelly, 67 64 bytes

-2 bytes thanks to Dennis (1. remove redundant , and 2. replace transpose and run-length decode, ZŒṙ, with reduce by element repetition, x/.)

“Ñṁ{xGgṭḷVỤɲ8ṿfƬT9Ɱ¹=qṀS“$<(ƇỤ08ØÑḌṃṘX6~cuc8HṗḞ2’Dx/ị“ ¶_/\|JAVo

Try it online!

How?

“...“...’ is a list of two base-250 compressed numbers:

[1021021021332411532617161526181616261916162618163425334, 2117114111551155121131612111415121115141211161312111551]

D converts to decimal to yield two lists of digits:

[[1, 0, 2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 3, 3, 2, 4, 1, 1, 5, 3, 2, 6, 1, 7, 1, 6, 1, 5, 2, 6, 1, 8, 1, 6, 1, 6, 2, 6, 1, 9, 1, 6, 1, 6, 2, 6, 1, 8, 1, 6, 3, 4, 2, 5, 3, 3, 4], [2, 1, 1, 7, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1, 5, 5, 1, 1, 5, 5, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 1, 6, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 5, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 4, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 6, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 5, 5, 1]]

x/ reduces by element repetition to give one list of digits (repeating the number from the first list by the corresponding value of the other):

[1, 1, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 2, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 4, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 3, 3, 2, 6, 1, 1, 1, 7, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 6, 1, 1, 5, 2, 6, 1, 1, 1, 1, 8, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 6, 1, 1, 6, 2, 6, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 9, 1, 1, 1, 1, 6, 1, 1, 6, 2, 6, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 8, 1, 1, 1, 6, 3, 3, 4, 2, 5, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4]

instructs to index into the list of the right, one based and modularly (0 indexes into the rightmost item). The list on the right, ¶_/\|JAVo, is simply the character used in the required order where the pilcrow, , is the same code-point as a linefeed. The closing partner of is not required as this is the end of the program:

[' ', ' ', 'o', '\n', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', 'o', '\n', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', 'o', '\n', ' ', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '\n', '/', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', '\\', '_', '_', '\n', '|', ' ', ' ', ' ', 'J', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', '|', ' ', ' ', '\\', '\n', '|', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', 'A', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', '|', ' ', ' ', '|', '\n', '|', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', 'V', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', '|', ' ', ' ', '|', '\n', '|', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', 'A', ' ', ' ', ' ', '|', '_', '_', '/', '\n', '\\', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '/']

Jelly performs an implicit print of this list, which, since it contains characters, prints as if it were a string:

Thanks to @briantist for finding the shorter -replace method that I knew was there somewhere.

This takes the string with numbers in place of the requisite number of spaces. We then regex -replace the digits with a script expression $(" "*$1). So, for example, the first line of the string will be $(" "*2)o, the second will be $(" "*7)o and so on. Because of the triple-quoting, this is left as a string on the pipeline. We dump that to iex (short for Invoke-Expression and similar to eval), which processes the script expressions and leaves the resulting multi-line string on the pipeline. Output is implicit.

Note: that double backslash is needed before the line feed.

Everything between the ''' and ''' is a single string, the two %s are formatters which get replaced by the content of the trailing %(...) tuple, which in turn contains two copies of '_'*10 via the tuple multiplication (...)*2. The '_'*10 performs string multiplication to yield '__________'.

The code traverses the characters, c, of that whole string using for c in '''... and creates a new string by joining (join(...))
either the number of spaces identified by c, int(c), if c is a digit
or c itself
- being a digit is identified by '0'<c<':' to save over c.isdigit().

In the spirit of , this does not hard-code the string to output. Instead, it makes use of the fact that there are many cases of multiple spaces followed by a printable character.

The characters in the string are first encoded as indices into a lookup table of the ten possible values. The indices are then grouped into pairs, each pair being combined into a single number (i1 + i2*10) in the range 0 to 99. By carefully choosing the order of the lookup table, we can guarantee that those values will always be valid ASCII characters which can be represented in a string literal.

This is a breakdown of the code itself:

Source code with execution paths highlighted

* We start by initialising the last element of the lookup table with a newline character (ASCII 10).
* We then use a string literal to push the encoded content onto the stack.
* Finally we loop over the values of the stack, decoding and outputting two characters at a time.
* The last line hold the lookup table: the 9th element is an implied space, and the 10th (newline) is set manually, as explained earlier.

C - 179

Solution with extensive use of format string:

void f(){printf("%1$3c\n%1$8c\n%1$5c\n%2$11s\n/%3$13s\n|%4$4c%5$7c%6$3c\n|%7$5c%5$6c%5$3c\n|%8$6c%5$5c%5$3c\n|%7$7c%5$4c__/\n\\%2$s/\n",'o',"__________","\\__",74,'|',92,65,86);}

Here is a more readable version:

void f() {
  printf("%1$3c\n"
         "%1$8c\n"
         "%1$5c\n"
         "%2$11s\n"
         "/%3$13s\n"
         "|%4$4c%5$7c%6$3c\n"
         "|%7$5c%5$6c%5$3c\n"
         "|%8$6c%5$5c%5$3c\n"
         "|%7$7c%5$4c__/\n"
         "\\%2$s/\n"
         'o',"__________","\\__",'J','|','\','A','V');
}

  • \$\begingroup\$ It's hard-coding, not brute-forcing. Brute-forcing is repeatedly generating random strings until one generated is correct, which is a standard loophole. \$\endgroup\$

(there are trailing spaces on many lines)

This works by using numbers 1,2,3,4 in place of some character sequences that are repeated in the target string and then substituting them back.

I know it could be golfed more by tweaking this code or completely changing approach, but since the kolmogorov meta-golf challenge had quite a disappointing outcome I wanted to try using my script on a real challenge.

  • \$\begingroup\$ You can replace all the spaces at the end of the last line to a 3 and then move the substitution up to before the 3. Also you can change 2\n to 2\n3 and move this substitution to before the 3. Try it online! \$\endgroup\$

Python 3.6

(non-competing)

Here's my attempt at Huffman encoding. It's definitely golfable further if anyone wants to take up the idea.

from bitarray import bitarray as b
a=b()
a.frombytes(bytes.fromhex('ca7fca7e53b6db6db664ffc6d9ae1fd6335e2fad1af83d68d7e2e9b218db6db6db20'))
print(''.join(a.decode({k:b(v)for k,v in zip(" _|\no/\\AJV","1 011 010 0011 00101 00100 00011 00010 00001 00000".split())})))

The literal could be compressed further still by converting to base64 or other, and the Huffman tree could be optimized to yield a shorter bitarray still.

Explanation: that string is the gzip-compressed java cup ascii art. I use printf, because with echo, zcat prints a warning, and echo -e is one character longer. It doesn't work with bash or sh, because they think it's a binary file. Since you can't effectively paste that output from the browser, here's a usable file.

Ungolfed:

() -> {
    String s = "";
    BigInteger b = new BigInteger(
        "43ljxwxunmd9l9jcb3w0rylqzbs62sy1zk7gak5836c2lv5t36ej6682n2pyucm7gkm9bkfbn4ttn0gltbscvbttifvtdfetxorj6mmy3mt6r3",

        s += (char)(x&0x7f);
        b = b.shiftRight(10);
    }
    return s;
}

Usage in JShell:

Supplier<String> golf = <lambda expression>
System.out.println(golf.get())

Encodes each character as ten bits consisting of a count of the number of spaces before the character in the high three bits following by the code point in the low seven bits.

(Since there are only three bits for the count it can't represent more than seven consecutive spaces, and there are ten spaces at one point in the string. These are encoded as a count of six, followed by a space, and then a count of three followed by the next character.)

Sadly, it loses to this trivial 140-byte Java solution:

()->"  o\n       o\n    o\n __________\n/          \\__\n|   J      |  \\\n|    A     |  |\n|     V    |  |\n|      A   |__/\n\\__________/"
