difference between Blackdown's JVM and Sun's?
What differences are there between Sun's JVM and Blackdowns? Is the Blackdown organization some kind of Java licensee? Thanks Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I asked the same question privately of a member of the Blackdown team and have not yet received a reply. I'm not trying to be confrontational or start a flame war, but I would like to understanding the benefits to the *user* of having a Blackdown port. --- Vladimir Vladimir G.

blackdown has additional ppc/sparc/arm ports. JMF, java3d , customized java web start, debian installer. java comm api. Also Blackdown give the opportunity for developers to contribute to the java on linux product. ie if you find a bug or want to change something its going to be easier to get them into a blackdown release first regards calvin Vladimir G Ivanovic wrote: > > "MK" == Matthew Kennedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > MK> What differences are there between Sun's JVM and Blackdowns? > > I asked the same question privately of a member of the Blackdown team > and have not yet received a reply. > > I'm not trying to be confrontational or start a flame war, but I would > like to understanding the benefits to the *user* of having a Blackdown > port. > > --- Vladimir > > > Vladimir G.

Blackdown seems to be a bit more agile with respect to window manager issues. Blackdown supports many more platforms/ports than Sun does. I don't know how Blackdown for linux/intel compares with Sun for linux/intel, but I'd love to see a comparison, myself. I do a fair bit of JBuilder support and I'd appreciate more definitive info regarding how various versions of Blackdown compare with Sun's, and how the kernel/glib versions affect things. -- Joi EllisSoftware Engineer Aravox Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried.

Although this may be true, one can also say that SUN no longer gives 'others' any opportunities to port Java to other linux machines. For example it costed FreeBSD/JAVA some $3000 in ( their own ) legal costs to obtain a free license to distribute the java binaries. It also took a long time to obtain such a license.
