Well, hrrmm... in my case, I was just obeying the Java developers' orders, and installed linux-jdk 1.3. We're running Resin (www.caucho.com) and JDK 1.3 is supposed to offer better performance and so forth. No empirical evidence of that though... Java and good performace are two concepts that don't seem to go together for me. ;-) I had to make it use the "classic" VM though, which presumably shaves off some performance. I could be wrong about this, but FreeBSD doesn't seem to be the best platform currently to run Java on. Had a quick look through the ports, and it seems that the available JITs only work with JDK 1.1.8? As for features etc. well, you could sift through the huge amount of documents at Sun's Java site... -- Juha To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
