I'm curious as to whether there are really great advantages to the technical ground covered by Jikes RVM vs. Maxine. While competition and diversity is great, I wonder if they couldn't produce something useful for production rather than just research applications if the parties worked on 1 metacircular JVM rather than 2. -- Jess Holle --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
