Perhaps a replacement for DaCapo and SPECjvm98 is not in order: this would make comparison with other papers in the literature difficult and just confuse the issue. So, how about a good *companion* suite then?
By the way, Ashes was started as a free testing framework for Java benchmarks, so if we do anything, it should be examined closely as a starting point, in my opinion. It needs a bit of cleaning up, but at least the overhead of building a testing framework has mostly been thought about and taken care of. Of course Mauve or something related may be suitable/better for these purposes.
OK, I really have to go and run SPECjvm98 now, so I might drop out of this conversation somewhat.
