I guess this is a question of available means and talents for each part (CG, encryption, or even scientific computing & exotic DB, etc). Many things can be done, conceptually, to get warp performances (intelligent use of SIMD instructions & GPU for instance) but on the other hand there probably n

Hi Swen, ok, you've convinced me. Enrico Hello, First off, you should read the actual Harmony proposal, footnote #2. "Historically, there has been wide exposure to VM and class-library- specific source code that is the property of Sun Microsystems as well as others, as it is common for commer

It does happen quite a bit though. I'll admit that there are plenty of parts in Classpath which are pretty poorly implemented. And there are parts of Sun's implementation which seem very good. Is there any fundamental reason that Classpath can't surpass Sun's implementations? Sorry, I am jus

Re: Linux Jar file execution

Yea, I think the challenge is making it a core kernel feature rather than something the users will have to compile and install themselves, ie, a Linux kernel above a certain future version would support it. It will be a step further towards more java applications on the Linux platform i think.

Has anyone got any thoughts on the possibility of making naively executable jars on Linux? This is done on Windows through the file extensions mechanism. On Solairis they use magic numbers picked up by the kernel AFAIK. I guess a Linux implementation will require some kernel work too. I believ
