Hi all,

Any comments as to Centos/RHEL 5.3's openjdk implementation versus Sun's?

RedHat has acknowleged that Sun's JDK is faster - despite the fact OpenJDK is native. Since it's native, it also means it's not platform independent (in the sense of compile once run anywhere.)

Argh, it appears that I have gotten so used to installing the jdk, it does not click when all I actually want at the moment is the jvm.

How do the jvms compare?

See the Fedora mailing list - there was discussion about a year ago.

Sun's JDK is faster eh...I guess that is sad news.
