I have a Java applet that I've tested on Sun's JVM and on Microsoft's now defunct JVM, but if there are other JVM's out there, I'd like to test my applets out on them just to make sure they work as I'd expect. Thanks!

Such beast does exist and name's J9. Don't worry. It exists only on server side (Websphere) and usually doesn't escape the cage. Another area would be mobile application created by IBM but it's even more rare creature. It's possible to extract J9 and use it as base for Java Web Start approach but then it's still used for this particular JWS application. So, chances that your applet will run on J9 are practically zero. And even so J9 is (mostly) compatible with regular Sun's Java. Alex. http://www.myjavaserver.com/~alexfromohio/

IBM, BEA and Oracle all has their own JVM's. I would not bother testing them because: 1) they try to be 100% compatible with SUN JVM 2) they are mostly used server side Arne

Mac OS-X? Java 6 features could be problematic though :-) Cheers Richard Maher "yawnmoth" <terra1024(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:aac60406-dfb3-48e9-8a76-53f18bec6c48(a)56g2000hsm.googlegroups.com... > <http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=613673&cid=24186809> mentions > "IBM's java engine".

Um, that just plain isn't correct. <http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux/download.html> Why did you think this didn't exist except on the server side? Mind you, it doesn't have "plug-in support", so I gather this makes it useless for applets, but that is still a long way from "exists only on server side". Literally one minute on Google found this link. -- Lew |
