I heard a while back that Blackdown would be contributing enhancements to the Sun JVM. Specifically I'm looking for Blackdown's WebStart enhancements to become standard on the JRE's shipped by Sun.
Anyone know if/when this will happen? I love the Blackdown JVMs, but the releases have been ve
This release seems a bit *faster* on my machine. Netbeans is a little more responsive and the Java2D and SwingSet demos seem a little peppier.
I'm not running on an SMP machine. Kernel 2.4.22, Glibc 2.3.2.

Days have turned into weeks. Any idea when Blackdown 1.4.2 will be available?
There aren't many differences between Sun's 1.4.1_03 and our 1.4.1_01.
A Blackdown 1.4.2 for x86, AMD64, and probably SPARC will be available
in a few days.

Does anyone know the availability of a 1.3.1 JVM for GCC 3.2. I'm thinking of upgrading to Mandrake 9.1, but have to run 1.3.1 apps. Anyone know if I'll be able to do so?

Anyone know the actual status of the Blackdown 1.4 port? I love
previous ports but have been waiting for a 1.4 port since JavaWorld of
last year.
Sun's Linux port isn't bad, but Blackdown consistently runs faster and
works better. Only problem is that release dates are often 3-9 months
off. So
Why not have this discussion on this list? It seems to directly impact Java. The relationship between the Linux scheduler and Java is pretty important. IBM has produced some scheduler kernel mods to improve JVM performance. These are a bit more complicated than just cranking some params, bu
That's a good point. However on my Dual 450 there seems to be no performance loss with these new settings. In fact things seem a bit more responsive. I'm not sure exactly why, but my guess would be extensive use of 'wait and notify' in various programs. Before there was a 10ms penalty if on
Ok, I've rebuild the a kernel with HZ 1000 (and bumped CLOCKS_PER_SEC to 1000 too).
The output is now closer to what one would expect. Also if you always sleep for 10ms, you get a total time of 10 ms for nearly every run (some runs were 11-13ms, but most ~27 were 10).
Hope this helps. I
Sun has finally come out with their 1.4 Java release. What does the Blackdown team think about the Sun VM and 1.4 in general? How will the Blackdown VM differ from Sun's (on x86 Linux)? When will a public Blackdown release be made?
Thanks all,
Jim
I don't mean to nag the Blackdown developers, they have always produced the highest quality Java VMs for Linux. In addition I'd like to add how much I look forward to each release as they run better, and with less bugs than Sun's VMs (and IBMs IMHO).
So when should we expect a 1.4 public (
Hi all,
I came across something a little odd today. I normally have various signatures
to my object constructors, and I usually write one and then use this() from
within the others to make minor changes. Like below.

Sun has announced that there will be at least another beta (maybe RC) in Q4 of
their JDK 1.4 product, with a release in early Q1 next year.
Does Blackdown have a release schedule for 1.4 yet? I know a beta is supposed
to be release pretty soon now, but what about RC's and FCS? I'm interested in
Sounds great. Blackdown rocks.

The status page for the Blackdown 1.4 port hasn't been updated in a while. Is
there any new news? Is Blackdown waiting to integrate the Sun 1.4 beta 2
source? Are they prohibited from releasing "beta" products by Sun?
I'm currently using Blackdown 1.3.1 and I love it. It runs faster (than the

I understand that these ports take a tremendous amount of time, and
I've been scouring the net lately for a way to read CD audio data in

Are there any plans from the Blackdown group to add this feature to the

You need to make sure you're using the glibc version of the JDK. Try
the version located in:

It seems that IBM has been pretty forthcoming with respect to support

JDK can be found on their website. IBM is very interested in using Java
as a middleware to their databases, and building web enabled data
warehouses. This
I'm going to have to agree completely. Now I can only imagine what a

I don't have a problem with 1.1.7B, and if you use 1.2pre2 and put a
System.out.println to print out sum after your loop, it will exit
normally with a sum of 9604. Without the println, 1.2pre2 bombs for me
too. Strange.

I don't know what your code looks like, but you may need to carefully
check your thread calls. As such fun calls as thread.suspend(),
thread.stop(), etc are depricated in 1.2, and are almost guaranteed to
break your app. Try looking at thread.wait() and thread.join() if you
haven't already.

Same there. Blackdown is doing a great job with 1.2 considering all the

I'm running RH 6 and jdk1.2pre2, aside from some Native threading issues
it works great. Make sure you DL the glibc 2.1
This looks to be a problem with Native threads in pre2. If you run the
program with java -green -jar test2d.jar it will be a little sluggish
but will not leak. I've noticed a marked improvement in the Java2D demo
as well. In addition one of my friends was also working on a school
