I wanted to run a benchmark to substantiate this claim but there are no OpenJDK 7 binaries available for my aging Ubuntu 10.04 (which I'll upgrade only when the new LTS shows up). Also, on Windows there are no OpenJDK builds so in the end we need to target Oracle JDK anyways (besides the obvious business reasons), this means a OpenJDK support will have to come in parallel (aka "more work") Cheers Andrea -- ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
