I have an application written in Java that I am thinking about deploying on FreeBSD. I am considering FreeBSD because of its reputation for stability and performance. The only concern I have is the port of Java on this system. I am a newcomer to FreeBSD (a few days in fact) so I just wanted to know what is the stability / reliability of the Java implementation? Are there many known problems etc.
Why not just write it in C or some other compiled language, and eliminate the variable of a Java interpreter (while improving performance greatly to boot)?
This is a pretty silly comment. If he has written it in Java then porting it to C is probably not going to be trivial. On the performance side, Java's performance is actually pretty good. This is an article on Java vs various other languages. It is a 2003 article so I would imagine things are even better nowadays.
