BEA's JRockit is absurdly fast, and seems stable while running, but has some issues stopping. It is supported by BEA if you are running RedHat AS and don't mind forking over a couple thousand dollars, otherwise it is simply available an unsupported. We have seen substantial speed benefits using it in development, but haven't been brave enough to put it into production because of the shutdown issues. IBM's JRE/JDK has had similar performance characteristics for us to Sun's. It works fine. It gets brownie points for installing to /opt via rpm. -Brian On Thursday, March 13, 2003, at 12:44 PM, Jeremy Quinn wrote: > Hi Folks, > > I am setting up Cocoon on a Linux box for the first time (I am new to > Linux). > > Is this a good JVM to be running, or is there a stable 1.4.1 for this > platform? > > % java -version > java version "1.3.1" > jdkgcj 0.2.3 (http://www.arklinux.org/projects/jdkgcj) > gcj (GCC) 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7) > Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. > This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
