You'll find many of your questions answered in the mailing list archive, which
seems to be functioning as the de faqto (pun intended) FAQ.
The short story is that:
a) The 1.2 port basically works, and is currently in pre-release. But some
tricky problems dealing with Linux threads and such are resulting in robustness

b) It's unclear how Sun will apply the licensing terms on HotSpot to the Linux
community, but at least the Blackdown 1.2 port already has a JIT.
