BEA JRockit
« on: May 29, 2007, 05:17:22 PM »
Anyone's company use this instead of the Sun JDK?
We're upgrading our Java version and I've been pondering if I should suggest us trying this out. There's info out there that says it's faster/better but I thought I'd check with the folks here to see if there was any real trusted experience.
Likely we'll just install both on the both and see which one runs our apps better and use that version.

Back in the day we supported IBM JVM, BEA JRockit, and GCJ... They all have their oddities but it's a solid JVM. I usually used the IBM JVM and GCJ on my workstation though.

How's the GCJ?

Unpredictable at times, but fun in a "OSS native Java compilation is neat-o" sort of way. I wouldn't bet my industrial product on it yet (though it's been almost 2 years since I was using it, I'd imagine it's progressed even more since then). Some apps would compile and run faster than the VM counterparts, other apps would run considerably slower.

GCJ was never supported in the "Enterprise" distribution, just in Fedora. I don't know if it has made the leap yet or not.
