Re: [jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1282) Sun hotspot compiler bug in 1.6.0_04/05 affects Lucene

>>From what I read -Xint slows you down so much its not much of a
workaround.

Here's a couple examples of that exclude method syntax (had to use it
recently with eclipse):
-XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/apache/lucene/index/IndexReader\
$1,doBody 
-XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/eclipse/core/internal/dtree/DataTreeNode,forwardDeltaWith
