Eclipse on JRockit

Eclipse was getting real sluggish on my Thinkpad so I started looking around for ways to get it going faster. I tried the Keep Resident plugin but not much difference. Then I read someplace that the JRockit JVM is supposed to be faster than the Sun one, so I tried the 1.4 and 1.5 versions of it, hoping to be "rocked" by it's performance but actually came out disappointed. The Sun VM seems to be comparatively really good with the default options. Is JRockit not the best for client side / GUI applications ? Does it need some tweaking and tuning ? For now I do not have the time to look it up, maybe I'll come back to the Rockit some other day.

Giving up on JRoller

After a long hiatus I was back to blog @ JRoller only to find my older blog entries missing and my categories gone. So it’s decided Blogger it is. I will add the site feed to javablogs just to keep the java connection
