RE: [PLUG] Installing a Java VM


Depends on what you want to do with it.

I like IBM's, and you need it if you want to run StarOffice or AnyJ 
(http://www.netcomputing.de/).  Blackdown won't work with StarOffice 
because of the difference in threading models (green vs. native).  I think 
Oracle has to have BlackDown.  They come in a tar file, so just download 
them and extract them where you want them.

Subject:	[PLUG] Installing a Java VM

Okay...considering trying to install a new Java VM (1.2????).  It HAS to
work with Netscape 4.7 and still be usable for other things (like
development).

I hear of Blackdown, IBM, and others who have Java VM's (and Borland with
their JIT compiler).

Which is the best?
Where do I get them?
How do I install them?

This is a topic (like recompiling egcs) that isn't discussed (Probably for
obvious reason).

Pointers are appreciated.
