The last time I checked, either or both of them weren't up to Java 2,
so Collections, for one thing, was missing.  They also had issues with
incompleteness or maybe even total lack of Swing.  Both of those are
essential, and I couldn't get any further with those JVMs without
those features.  That was a while back, so maybe those particular
issues that I (vaguely) remember have been solved by this point.

Since the powerpc I hope to get will be at work, it is quite important
to do development and testing with the JVMs that we tell our customers
are officially supported.  Basically that means the Sun JVM, though I
think the IBM one will be acceptable as well.
