 Posted: Thu Aug 01, 2002 8:10 am Post subject: Which JAVA ? |
 |
|
There are a lot of java's in dev-java, but which one seems to be the best?
I heard that kaffe is quiet good, but it's missing the plugin to run java in mozilla.
So it left us with:
-blackdown
-ibm
-sun
Which one do you prefer? JRE of JDK ?
Thnx

The musketeer is right. Even though I haven't written a line of Java for a really long time, sun still have the best JRE around (big surprise there), and even though portage doesn't have the JRE standalone, the convenience of using it to get the JDK is worth the extra megabytes.

Unfortunately the IBM jdk is only at 1.3.1, which doesn't include JSSE classes. However their windows JDK 1.3.1 does include those classes, but either way IBM's webpage is the most horrible thing in the world and I HATE having to find stuff there. I usually end up following a mobius strip of links 2 or 3 times over before I get to the download page. |

Maybe it's not friendly, but still, I believe they have the fastest JVM.
Now, do we need the fastest JVM? |

I've always been a fan of IBM's JVMs mainly because when Sun first brought out their JVM for Linux it had some obscure bug in it, and I haven't changed since.
If all you want is the latest release (1.4) you have to go with Sun. If all you want is plugin support just get a JRE rather than a JDK and I don't think it matters which one you get because most applets only make use of Java 1.1 AFAIK. |
