So what exactly did SUN do when they spoke of their "support of the Linux
developer community" (http://java.sun.com/pr/1998/11/pr981102-01.html)?
I've heard that they released the JDK1.2 source to Blackdown prior to their
releasing the final JDK1.2 on their web site, but surely this couldn't have
made that much of a difference nor warranted a high publicity press release
...
Also, am I correct in assuming that the Linux JDK1.2 port will not have a
JIT? Does anyone have any performance numbers of it and other Linux JVMs,
such as Cafemark?
Thanks.
