best Java for RedHat?

Hi Folks,

I am setting up Cocoon on a Linux box for the first time (I am new to 
Linux).

Is this a good JVM to be running, or is there a stable 1.4.1 for this 
platform?

% java -version
java version "1.3.1"
jdkgcj 0.2.3 (http://www.arklinux.org/projects/jdkgcj)
gcj (GCC) 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)

Thanks for any suggestions.

Eeeeek...!

Just go for IBM or Sun JDK, Jeremy. IIRC, IBM has released a 1.4 version 
of its VM, too.

Hi:

I am happily using Sun JSDK 1.4.1_01 in Red Hat 8.0 without any problem

Avoid it! Sun's JDK 1.4.1 is available for Linux directly from Sun. I am 
also experimenting with BEA's JRockit 8.0, as it promises to be 
blazingly fast ... but I'm having a few problems with it right now. 
Sun's JDK 1.4.1_02 is 100% OK for Tomcat (or Jetty) and Cocoon.

Have anyone tried using Eclipse with JRockit? Does it add some speed?

I recently spoke to an ISP (positive-internet.com) who host Java and Tomcat on 
Linux. They use the IBM one - better performance/more reliable, 'fraid I can't 
remember their reasons. I can find out if you want to know.

Hope life's treating you well!

Sun has binary and rpm distributions for 1.4.1 on linux that work well 
on RH.

BEA's JRockit is absurdly fast, and seems stable while running, but has 
some issues stopping. It is supported by BEA if you are running RedHat 
AS and don't mind forking over a couple thousand dollars, otherwise it 
is simply available an unsupported. We have seen substantial speed 
benefits using it in development, but haven't been brave enough to put 
it into production because of the shutdown issues.

IBM's JRE/JDK has had similar performance characteristics for us to 
Sun's. It works fine. It gets brownie points for installing to /opt via 
rpm.
