If I understand correctly what I have read on the Blackdown mailing list,
then the Borland/Inprise JDK 

a) is based on the Blackdown 1.2.1 port

b) got the latest JDK 1.2.2-004 fixes from Sun

c) has received additional, substantial bug fixes from Borland/Inprise
   specifically for JBuilder

d) contains the Borland/Inprise JIT

Also, from the volano report 

  http://www.volano.com/report.html

it appears as if the VM in the Borland/Inprise JDK is faster (perhaps due
to the [better] JIT, perhaps not).

Finally, it appears as if there is one peculiar bug (many concurrent
network connections?) fixed in the Blackdown JDK 1.2.2 RC3 release that is
still present in the Borland/Inprise/Sun JDK 1.2.2 RC1.

All I can say is that I will see how JBuilder 3 / Solaris fares on the
Borland / Inprise JDK soon; my extremely limited experience with the
Blackdown port was not the best.

I have collected all that information over the last couple of hours; my
apologies if my built-in processor managed to misrepresent facts.
