like Tomcat, JBoss, Jonas, Netbeans, xalan, xerces, cocoon, Barracuda,..., then I would recommend you using IBM JDK. Many thanks to them for making a JIT available on Linux PPC, since it was long awaited, and was one of the main reasons mac os x was necessary on a linux ppc box. Blackdown doesn'

Hi, just to make you Debian people know I had no problem running the latest IBM JDK 1.3.0 for PPC Linux. This JDK includes a JVM _WITH_ JIT, and outperformes by far the Blackdown JVM. The IBM JDK is not free (in the sense of liberté) but is not for sale either... Well, java is not free
