I think its mostly the fact that Blackdown 1.3 PPC doesn't have a JIT
that is getting on your nerves. I recently switched to IBM JDK 1.3
on PPC and I'm very happy with it.
However, I'm also eagerly awaiting a 1.4 release on PPC
(blackdown/IBM/anybody) as I'd like to have asserts and some of the
nice new library stuff as well. However I think the fact that Sun is
finally releasing decent VMs for x86 Linux has "scratched the itch"
for the majority of folks that used to contribute to Blackdown, so I
imagine it'll be quite a while before we see a Blackdown 1.4...
