Hi,
This keeps changing, so no such page has been produced. What aspects
of the JVMs would you most like to know about? Here are the ones I know
about:
kaffe:
quite good. Latest cvs is a lot better than the version packaged for
Debian
sablevm:
still quite immature, but has an excellent team behind it. Debian
packages get updated regularly and upstream are very helpful.
gij:
Supports native compilation. I've had a few problems with gij, but some
people think it's the best. Gets better at each release.
IBM - not available in Debian (non-free?)
Blackdown, Sun Excellent, but non-free.
