I've been doing some research and survey. I am currently investigating precompiling the core class libraries to native for the SUN JDK interpreter mode/green-threads/x86. My purpose is that 20 or so Mozillas would run on the same system, each starting a JVM, but I would like to have a single copy of the core classes system-wide. As you all know the JVM text is loaded only once by the OS; I would like it to be the same for the core (statically available) classes. How hard would it be to have gcj generate code for the SUN VM 1.3.1? Does anyone know of a better solution? Thanks a lot, -- Philippe Laporte Software Engineer WorldGate 3190 Tremont Avenue Trevose PA 19053 Tel: 215-354-5389 Email: plaporte@wgate.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
