Both are not ready for prime-time, especially with SMP, but it still might be interesting to test them on UP systems. I tried jdk13 with libthr last month and had mixed results. SwingSet2 ran pretty well, but the mozilla plugin didn't. I haven't tried libkse yet since it deadlocks quite quickly in rtld. Scott
