HiI just tried the IBM JVM 1.3 for Linux
With it's accompaining jit it's very fast, but it crashes X every time I
try running a program that uses the AWT. Has anybody else seen similar
crashes and maybe looked further into what's gping wrong?
I 've tested under enlightenment 0.16.3 and XFree 3.3.6 (nothing
thorough though) and awt indeed exhibits a tendency for random crashes.
Swing apps seem more stable.
Some random observations:
1) Computationally intensive stuff and i/o (no gui) seem to run as
fast (and perhaps a bit faster) as 1.1.8 - but I haven't done any thorough
testing yet.
2) swing apps run perceivably faster.
3) awt fonts look really ugly.
4) ) awt is still in motif
5) The 90-days clause in the license is rather annoying, but I guess
it will go away when ibm makes a production relase (a bit off-topic ;-).
