That's fine; but without a JIT, migrating common Java workloads to
Solaris z is a non-starter.   For the z-architecture, it needs to be a
rather sophisticated JIT.

I agree with your points on JDK compatibility being a common issue, on
all platforms.   Most all of the problems end up being that the
application code incorrectly uses Sun internal classes.  Sun should
have "fixed" this long ago by somehow preventing using of classes that
aren't part of the Java API.
