[talk] JVM Questions

[Edward Capriolo]

I have run into these. This is really very very rare. One time it can
happen is if an application does some high end native stuff. An example
would be cassandra uses off heap memory to avoid gc. Sometmes the semantics
of such features are not clear in the jvm spec i would guess. In any case
you might hit a case where the software might get an error loading its data
file in one jvm but not the other. I have jad similar issues with
commercial vms as well.

I always find out exactly what the developers use and i use that. Oracle
jvm is more " enterprise " so it is typically paired with enterprise java
products and thus havr better coverage.

I do a lot of java work and i am rarely aware of if a given system is using
one or the other, but i find oracle jvm more compatible. Never found
anything that did work right on open jdk and not oracle.

over a year though.

Sorry this was sent from mobile. Will do less grammar and spell check than
usual.
