Actually, it's much more than theory. We have a lot of experience with the high quality JVM's from IBM, HP, and Sun. Because of this, we generally do a round robin testing cycle on the three platforms that we regularly deploy on. This means that each release is surface tested on each platform, and system tested on one platform. Each system test is on a different platform from the previous.
The real question you need to be asking is how stable, and compliant is the JVM you are targeting. >From experience, the following JVM's have been very stable for us. Sun 1.4.x on Linux Sun 1.4.x on Windows HP 1.4.x on HP-UX IBM 1.5.x on AIX IBM 1.5.x on Linux >From reading on the lists, the JVM for OS X has a good reputation. By the way, we use Hivemind in our application, so by implication, Hivemind works on our tested platforms. An off topic note, our application is evolving from an ANSI C based application, to a Java application. Any guesses as to which has better performance? If you guessed the Java application you would be right. This took us old C and Unix hacks completely by surprise.

So we just want to see whether HiveMind could be used successfully on PPC? Though we know that theoretically if a proper JVM could run on PPC then the Java implementated software based on that JVM could of course also run on that platform. But I think it just a theory. Anyone could not ensure there won't be any issue occurring. So I hope someone could have experieced using it on PowerPC in practice. So could any one give us some info or suggestion about it? Thanks in advance.
