Hunh? Can you cite a reference?
The announcement (http://www.javasoft.com/pr/1999/04/pr990427-01.html)
says: "... The Java HotSpot performance engine will be available free
of charge for download at
http://java.sun.com/products/hotspot/index.htm"
There are many references to HotSpot being a "server-side" solution.
This pains me greatly because I think it means Swing performance is
still slower than watching grass grow. I hope someone can
definitively say that Swing performance in particular (e.g. JTable) is
greatly enhanced by HotSpot. Otherwise, client-side Java is sucking
seaweed, with no prospects in sight.
