Hi Amit,
As per https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-5049299, this is fixed
in 7u55+ (including 8 fcs). There are some peculiarities however:
On JDK8 posix_spawn is the default on Solaris & Mac. vfork is the
default on Linux.
On JDK7u55+ posix_spawn is the default on Mac only. fork is the default
on Solaris and vfork is the default on Linux.
On 7u55+ you can change the default launch mechanism using the
jdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism startup flag. E.g.:
java -Djdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism=posix_spawn ...

Hi Folks,
We are facing issue with process builder on JRockit JVM with solaris
5.10 machine. That is realted to following bug:
http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=5049299
Currently we are using JRockit JDK 1.6.0_37-R28.2.5-4.1.0 version.
Please let me know following :
* Which version of JRockit this bug is fixed ? (as it is fixed in JAVA
8u 15)
* If yes then is it also fixed for solaris 5.10 or In solaris process
builder still uses fork() call ?
As per this page link below Mr. Rob wrote that for solaris it still
using fork which is confusing weather fixed for solaris or not:
