JDK-1.3.1 for SparcLinux...?

2002-03-04 Thread Vincent Cojot


Hello everyone,

I guess that this was asked before but.. Is there any hope to see
a JDK more recent than 1.3.0 for SparcLinux? I'm specifically looking for
1.3.1 (or mmore recent, I guess).. I am just a java user but I have some
apps which require 1.3.1 and don't run on 1.3.0 (I'm using the
j2sdk-1.3.0-1.sparc rpm on RH6.2).. If you're looking for testers, please
don't hesitate to count me in.. Is there anything else that might help? I
understand that the J2SDK source is under NDA so I guess we (the sparc
linux community) cannot help for the port but at least we might be able to
help with the Beta.. Speaking for myself, I have access to a few
RH6.2/Sparc machines and on RH7.2/Sparc (Aurora 0.2) machine.. Any
comments? Jos?

On a side note: Just out of curiosity, how tough is it to porta JDK to a
different Linux arch? Are there many things that need to be modified?

This is a really great debugging tool.  Would somebody tell me where I might
have found out about this goody myself and find additional goodies like it.

IIRC it's buried somewhere in the Swing tutorial from Sun.

Best regards

Re: JDK-1.3.1 for SparcLinux...?

2002-03-04 Thread Carlos Villegas

Hi,

I second Vincent's request.

 I'm using SuSe 7.3 on a Sparc Netra T1 machine. I have a Java 
application that uses JDBC and JavaMail.  The process sends thousands of 
mail messages. Under the current 1.3.0 JVM sparc port (no jit?, no 
hotspot?), the process dies with a OutOfMemory exception after about 2 
hours. This is strange because my application doesn't keep big objects 
in memory. So, I tested the previous version for the Sparc, which seems 
to be jdk 1.2.2 RC4 with the hotspot VM. This one runs correctly and I 
don't see any increase in the memory footprint during processing. It 
also runs about 5 times faster!. Looking in the Sun's bug database, 
there are some reports about JavaMail leaking memory. It was attributed 
to a problem with the garbage collector (classic VM?) failing to release 
some unreferenced objects under some situations. But that was talking 
about jdk 1.1 and a previous version of JavaMail, so I'm not sure if the 
leak is there.

Although my problem seems to be solved with jdk1.2.2, we may need some 
of the features of the new JVMs in the near future. We plan deploy more 
applications on Linux Sparc.

Cheers,

Carlos

JIT or Hotspot?

2002-03-04 Thread Drew Lane

 From what I understand there is no JIT or Hotspot in Blackdown, correct?

What's the status of this exactly?  Can we expect to see one soon?

I haven't had much problem with Blackdown, but it is a bit too slow 
without a JIT.

I was going to try IBM Java for Linux, but I'm stuck with Kernel 2.2 for 
some
hardware compatibility issues, so I guess I can't use that right now.

Thank you,

Drew
