New story at http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayStory.pl?991018.hnjvm.htm At the Java Developers Conference in San Jose, Calif., IBM will announce the free general availability of a Java Software Developer's Kit 1.18-compliant Java virtual machine (JVM) for the Linux operating system, with performance that exceeds that of JVMs running on Windows NT, IBM officials said. Meanwhile, Sun Microsystems is preparing to release in early 2000 a Java2-compliant JVM for Linux that brings the performance, functions, and Java HotSpot features of the latest Java specifications to the Linux community, according to sources close to Sun Microsystems. It's not clear from the story if this just means Sun is going to license Hotspot to the Blackdown porters, or if they're doing the port themselves.
