I wrote off the IBM JVM last year after living with swing bugs and
a broken debugger that dumped core every time I tried to use it. I
deleted it off my machine after I spent a day crafting a reproducible
test case for the debugger core dump and posting a polite bug report
on their news group, only to have them cancel the post. I deleted
all IBM jvms from my machine at that point and haven't used one since.
I don't recommend anyone use IBM's JVM, especially on Linux. Not when
they treat users like they treated me.
So, no, I haven't wasted any time testing with the IBM JVM because
I won't be using the IBM JVM for my application, *ever*.
I'm writing a GUI, so I don't need speed, I need the memory footprint
and the stability of Sun/Blackdown.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
