I infer the answer is no. The archive containing the sourcecode (hotspot1_0_1-src.tar.gz) seems to contains only SPARC stuffs. Will the HotSpot VM have a JIT compiler? I know Sun migrates from the classic VM to the HotSpot VM. One of my concerns is the effect of that migration on developments of JIT compilers. Kazuyuki SHUDO Happy Hacking! Muraoka Lab., Grad.

Re: Source Code of Web Browser for Linux
Hi There's the source for Netscape/Mozilla available from www.mozilla.org and from the same URL you can get the source an approach to create an entire webbrowser in Java that Netscape abandoned but it still being developed by volunteers. You schould not underestimate the platform independence of the Netscape browser itself. It's ported to an enormous number of platforms, I beleive that it actually holds sort of a world record for largest application proted to the most platforms. --- http://www.elof.dk -- Kristian Elof Soerensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] (+45) 45 93 92 02 On Mon, 1 May 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi: > > Is there any source code of a Web browser for Linux available somewhere? > It's even better if it's pure Java source code, so we can use it on > different platform to get a consistent interface? > > Thanks. > > > Lee > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

My understanding from reading the status page and talking with several people at LinuxWorld in February is that that is correct. However, I believe Sun have said that they will make the 1.3 source available under the SCSL at some point, probably after they get around to shipping the FCS version. > The archive containing the sourcecode (hotspot1_0_1-src.tar.gz) > seems to contains only SPARC stuffs. Yes that's the original server side HotSpot VM. 1.3 includes the so-called client side HotSpot VM, which is supposed to have better performance with interactive applications. > Will the HotSpot VM have a JIT compiler? I'm pretty sure that the Classic VM included with the 1.3 release candidates for Windows does not include a JIT. Since the default VM is HotSpot, which has their dynamic compilation technology in it, that won't be a problem for most people. However, if you hit a bug in HotSpot that requires you to switch to the Classic VM, you're screwed, as it has no JIT (unless you install one). :( > I know Sun migrates from the classic VM to the HotSpot VM. > One of my concerns is the effect of that migration > on developments of JIT compilers. >From what I've seen of IBM's 1.3, with its improvements on their already fast 1.1.8 VM, I think you have more to fear from it in this regard.

IBM 1.3 impressions
- it uses the IBM jit rather than hotspot. Performs similarly to IBM's 1.1.8 on a couple benchmarks (i.e. very good performance, though we haven't seen what hotspot can do yet). - The Swing demo is completely rewritten, worth checking out. Java2D demo is modified slightly. - SWING IS MUCH FASTER. At last! Java performance has been pretty reasonable for a while now, except swing, which crawled in 1.2. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Editorial about Sun, Java, Linux
Picked this up off Linux Weekly News, http://www.osopinion.com/Opinions/KevinLyda/KevinLyda7.html "If there was a free software version of Java available, or better yet if Sun would work in concert with the Mozilla development team to integrate a Java vm into Mozilla/Netscape then there would finally be a platform users could run Java from. Barring Netscape on Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Internet explorer of course." ... "So wake up Sun! The free software community isn't interested in the destructive "embrace and extend," we'd just like to make it work! That's all. But you've tied our hands, we can't help. Let us help. Please."
