I have had NO PROBLEMS with Linux Java for server software.  I've had
some problems with AWT-related stuff, but that's... well, the Java
burden at this point in time.

Also, for non-AWT apps, you can compile with TowerJ to full-blown native
code.  

The cleanliness of your Java code compared to C and C++ will help
improve stability as much as anything.
