Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Sun, 21 Feb 1999 23:45:24 -0800 From: Amancio Hasty Sender: owner-freebsd-java@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org The concepts of HotSpot are interesting however http://www.mozilla.org/projects /ef looks extremely interesting . The EF compiles down the Java classes to machine instructions and then it executes the compiled classes 8) There is a little work left to finish up the "port" of EF if anyone is interested and you know C++ as well gcc-2.8.1 very well send me a note. Currently, I am having problems with the proper handling of C++ exceptions on gcc-2.8.1, the stock gcc fails to compile EF.
