(Sun deals with stability, jdk1.3 isn't as stable yet as 1.2.1. That's why it's beta on Solaris and linux.) FYI, how much speed are you talking about? Most applications (web and other non-gui) don't use what's currently available. If you're hitting a wall, you may need a more distributed architecture. If you're writing Quake in Java, there's a big wall... One more point, (someone correct me if I'm wrong) this list is for native ports of the Java VM's to FreeBSD. I think there is a different mailing list for the linux emulation. (freebsd-emulation) I do emulate the jdk1.3 port for certain builds myself, (jBoss can only be built using jdk1.3, but runs fine under java1.2.2p9). Personally, I'd rather help the group get Java 1.2.2 working anyways, rather than skip to Java 1.3. Let the linux folks help sun workout some of the 1.3 bugs before we try. ;-) On 03-Aug-00 Michael Robinson wrote: >>Also, Sun uses Java 1.2.1_04 internally... in the enterprise services >>group.
