Re: Java IDE

[John Stevenson <John.Stevenson@valtech.co.uk>]

You could try using the Blackdown JDK from www.blackdown.org, get the Release
Candidate 4  (RC4), this uses native threads and has the sun JIT compiler in it.
This make a noticable improvement of speed on my machine.

It seems to work fine with all Java apps I have tried, with the exception of Together
from Object International which doesnt like the JIT when running and doesnt like
native threads when installing.
