To jump on a soapbox, I think J2EE certification should require the use of the Sun VM or at least transparent capability for clients to use it. For example, Websphere uses a proprietary IBM VM and insists that clients use it as well. There is a "plug-in" someone put on developerworks but I really haven't seen any advantage to this IBM VM. Gemstone had theirs which was parallelized thus gave a performance advantage but they are pulling out. The thing that scares me with this whole thing is that Java will lose its portability in a different fashion. Remember the days of K&R C vs. ANSI C, etc.?
