well this has been quite an experience. the Linux box I got to host ofbiz on is a Fedora FC7 and has java sdk 1.5 opensource bundled with it. I have tried to load the Sun 1.5 SDK and it bombs the server. so until I figure out how to load the sun version I am stuck with gcj. gcj compiles to "c" Code then binary so there is no runtime that interprets the p code.
As a heads up, now there is a opensource for the SDK there have to check at start up what Runtime we are using. it also means that ofbiz will be recompiled under the gcj.
