What are peoples experiences running 64bit JVM's under SuSE? We are getting some Opteron systems and trying to figure out what JVM to use, Sun's or one of the others.
I'm using the Sun JDK (5.0) on my Opteron servers and the java that ships with 9.1 Pro (java2-1.4.x) on my Athlon 64 desktops. I can't say that I've had problems with either. I used the Sun JDK on the Opterons just so I would have the latest java for tomcat. I've used the Sun, blackdown, SuSE jvms on various test boxes without incident with the exception of the SuSE jvm that shipped with 9.0. Replaced it with the Sun jvm, but that was an x86 box.
Does jre=jvm?
I'm sure that Sun and other jvm's run java just fine, but have you tried the browser pluggins with 64bit mozilla? Did they work for you?
Can't really say for the Opteron servers, as these are production tomcat servers, don't really surf the internet from them. The java was used for that purpose, not the browser. I use my desktop and copy files to/from server as needed and manage either through cli or webmin.
The only 64 bit jre I have found is blackdown and it is the only one with pluggins I have been able to make work with 64bit mozilla/firefox.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp and chose the J2SE 5.0 JRE and agree to the license. I'm using the JDK on my servers though, still same jvm in both.
Doesn't mean it's the only one, just the only one I could get the pluggins working.

Do you have a specefic site that is causing problems? I run into more sites with flash than with java. What a headache. John
