I have yet to try the linux version under FreeBSD yet, but as a user of this jdk on a linux box at work, I can say I've never seen it use less than 80meg. Even on a simple hello world program. To make matters worse, I'm currently using the jbuilder foundation for Linux IDE, a freely available all java IDE for java from the Borland folks, and it takes 160MB to run plus the minimum 80meg for each java app you're testing from the environment.. > Does it make use of shared libraries, so that if I start more applications I > don't have huge redundancy? Not that I've seen, but I'm pretty new to java myself, so maybe I don't have it configured right?. > Where can I buy cheap RAM? :-) :) Steve ----------------------------------------------------------- Steven Jorgensen steve@khoral.com steve@spukhaus.com ------------------------------+---------------------------- Khoral Research Inc. | PHONE: (505) 837-6500 6200 Uptown Blvd, Suite 200 | FAX: (505) 881-3842 Albuquerque, NM 87110 | URL: http://www.khoral.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
