I have added HotSpot 1.0.1 to the Solaris JDK release in the java_v1.2.2
locker (the Athena default version for Sun). From my online announcement
message:
HotSpot has been added to the Sun/Solaris Java Development Kit 1.2.2
on Athena (the current Athena default). HotSpot is a specialized Java
compiler designed to improve Java runtime performance by a variety of
techniques. It is used by default and does not require users to change
invocation of the JDK tools. If you want to use the original form of
the JDK tools, you should invoke them with the "-classic" command-line
switch, which must be the first switch on the command line. For
example, to compile an application MyApp.java with HotSpot, do:
javac MyApp.java
or without it, do:
javac -classic MyApp.java
In similar fashion, you can do things like:
appletviewer -classic MyApplet.htm
javac -classic MyApp.java
to use the original form of the tools without invoking
HotSpot. Documentation ia available from Sun at:
http://java.sun.com/products/hotspot/1.0/README-Sparc.html
We do not have information about HotSpot availability on other platforms
at this time.
