Over the last few years, the state of Java support on z/Linux and on virtualized platforms in general, has become an important issue for Marist. In particular, the difficulty in migrating open source applications from the SUN Java to the IBM Java on z/Linux has been a major problem for us. I have heard from other people about concerns with the performance of Java in virtualized environments such as z/VM and VMWare as well.
At SHARE in Orlando this August, we have the opportunity to sit down and discuss these issues with Marcel Mitran, Senior Technical Manager with the IBM compiler team. We will be able to share our concerns with him as well as hear the latest on support for Java and the OpenJDK efforts. So, if you have a concern about these issues and would like to participate in this "closed door" meeting, please respond to me directly (off list please). Space will be limited, so don't wait too long. You must be registered for the conference in order to participate. SHARE Orlando will be held Aug. 8-12 at the Dolphin Resort, http://www.share.org for more information.
