Hi Pierre,
More than focussing on Java 1.5 we need to ask Apple to release a
server version of the JVM. The current JVM is based on sun client JVM
and is therefore limited to 32 bits. The Sun sever JVM does not have
that limitation.
Although just a thought, but isnt the question 32 or 64 bit more a CPU
related issue (of course also software) than server or client vm? AFAIK
you can tell the vm (no matter if its running on linux with 32 bit, on
solaris with 64 bit or on macos with 32 bit) to use the 'client' or
'server' mode, which basically has something to do with memory
allocation and garbage collection.
I agree that its very important for a server based application use more
than 2 GB of heap. As the hardware is available with the G5 we will
just have to wait until panther and i hope apple does not 'forget' us,
the ones that are willing to buy apple hardware instead of solaris or
wintel or linux hardware for server applications. Forget means: not
providing a 64 bit clean vm within the next 6-9 month.
regards David
