Well, kaffe is nice, but the question was "what JIT should I use with
NetBeans?" and unfortunatelly I have to say that NetBeans Developer
doesn't run with kaffe at all, because of very buggy/incomplete current
JVM implementation in kaffe. I like the idea of free JVM implementation,
but I know that it is very hard to create one; I hope that the kaffe team
will succed!
Currently the best JVM implementation for running NetBeans on Linux is the
port of Sun's JDK from http://www.blackdown.org, version 1.1.6v5. TYA is
not recommended, because it still contains few bugs which prevent NetBeans
from running correctly.
