Do NOT install IBM jre with anyj. The jdk117 at blackdown works fine...
The ibmpackage is highly unstable as far as I can see, especially with
AWT / Swing.
jdk117_3 is quite stable, especially for servlets; it hasn't crashed on
me yet.
On the client I have not seen any stable java; the linux versions are
the worst, but under windows, java apps (jbuilder also) keep crashing
all the time. Under NT and 95/98 with different kinds of JVM.
A company like Borland should concentrate a division of programmers
on the sole task of make the AWT bugless and lightning fast; that WILL
get you loads of publicity. Just the thing Borland needs...
I'm not sure if Sun is doing something about it, but I would take WxWindows
(crossplatform toolkit) or something and route all calls to AWT or Swing
directly to WxWindows. That and a good JIT will get you there and it
will get you there almost bugless (the WxWindows toolkit is well tested,
all AWT native stuff is not)

My 2 cents...
