JRockit 2: I’m so LAME
On a previous episode, I posted a rant on JRockit. Google puts my blog as a second information source for “installing JRockit”after the official docs.
I’ve persuaded my quest for a fast JRE. I had unarchieved the installation SFX file, then the ZIPs inside it, putting all the archives in a folder. Again, starting JEdit with JRockit was a failure.
I had tried a CLI “java -version” and I got a “ERROR: JRockit needs at least a Pentium Pro to run. Could not create the Java virtual machine.” The lame installer couldn’t output this, the lame administrator (me) didn’t read the hardware requirements.
