Yeah, Jon brings up a good point. What platforms out there don't have
1.3 support now (that do have 1.2 support)? IBM jumped many of their
JVMs from 1.1 to 1.3, and there's linux x86 JVMs from both IBM and Sun
(and obviously solaris and wintel already). I certainly wouldn't mind
moving to 1.3 sooner rather than later. If we moved to 1.3 as well, we
could potentially redo the Timer application as JDK 1.3 includes this
kind of functionality as well.
Also, has anyone seriously checked out Appeal's JRocket VM? The 1.0
version did extremely well in the last Volano report, and the 1.1
version now complains to handle up to 10,000 current connections (and is
JDK 1.3 compliant)!!!! Only NT for now... but still just amazing if
it's true.
