That is what I thought at first, but what they meant with 'native code' is the *Java* code compiled with egcs into native code. All it means is that currently the compiler is not very optimized when compiling java code into native code, that's it. Avi David Trotz wrote:
Has anyone read the article in this month's Linux Journal (August 2000) about Java and Linux. A quote from Linux Journal on Page 160 has this to say "The Java interpreter on Windows is faster than the fastest JIT available for Linux and the Windows JIT is faster than the Native code on Linux". What does this really mean? Does it mean that a program written in C++ for Linux and a comparable program written in Java for Windows NT, that the Windows program will perform better? That is insane.Why would anyone ever develop anything for Linux, when Java is an easier language and performs better in Windows. At least Linux Journal was honest about it. Any comments?
