Hi Andrea I will just give you my personal usage opinion. I use jedit as my primary tool to develop c/c++ code. On a gentoo 1.4RC1 machine (dual proc 1.7 Xeon with 1GB RAM) blackdown is definitely faster than the sun jdk. Also for jedit, the sun jdk does not allow the server hotspot vm to be used. It crashes. However I can use the server vm with blackdown and it is very stable. As jedit uses a worker thread for every buffer open, the -server option is faster than the -client option even though -server is not recomended for gui apps. I find that jedit flies with the blackdown jdk and -server, while it is very slow with the sun jdk. hope that helps Naren Sankar On Thursday 14 November 2002 08:45 am, Andrea Aime wrote: > Hi everybody, > I would like to ask some questions about blackdown vs sun: > - I see blackdown jdk 1.4.1 is at beta stage: when the stable > version will be available? > - how it compares to the sun jdk 1.4.1_01?
