Which Java VM is the best for freebsd 5.4, running gnome2, and

Both the native jdk14 and jdk15 provide good Java VMs. jdk15 is
newer and might be unstable (hasn't been for me). jdk14 is more
tested and is the "default" java for FreeBSD on i386.
HTH,
Micah
can you have both versions installed ?
and how do you choose which one of them to use (for instance in
mozilla) ?
m.
Yes, you can have both installed at the same time.
/usr/ports/java/javavmwrapper makes switching JVMs easy using
environment variables, however it doesn't seem to support switching
browser plugins. For that you'd probably have to switch the symlink
in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins and restart the browser.
HTH,

Good rules of thumb: Use j2sdk 1.4 (not everything compiles under
1.5 I've heard from several people) for compiling, use j2sre 1.5 for
browser/applet stuff (for compatibility with all Java stuff).
