Read the message again; I said OpenJDK is probably ok, and that the GNU JVM is pretty awful.  Search the archives for the numerous reports of any serious application (such as Tomcat) failing miserably on the GNU JVM, but working fine on a real JVM.

OpenJDK is (or at least was) pretty much the same as the Sun HotSpot JVM, but with some packages replaced or omitted due to licensing issues.
