The news of the merge surfaced through a webcast this week. It is said that the merge will take roughly eighteen months to two years. On this development, Mark Reinhold, Oracle&#8217;s principal engineer has said that the company would continue to develop both platforms in the short term.<\/p>\n<p>Although the decision is believed to have been taken some time ago, the news of such a possibility was floating from last month when Oracle mentioned this at a conference. HotSpot was Sun&#8217;s own implementation of JVM while JRockit was acquired by Oracle along with BEA systems.<\/p>\n<p>On this merge, Reinhold said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s not an easy problem taking the best of each, figuring out what the long-term convergence plan is. We&#8217;re not going to just stop doing one of them. Customers have things in production on both, taking advantage of specific features in both. We&#8217;re not going to cause an earthquake and make systems fall over. At some point in time, I expect there will be one VM,<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While the HotSpot has a better runtime compiler, the JRockit has a better garbage collection. The merger will create a powerful virtualization with the best features of both.<\/p>\n<p>[ Via : <a href=\"http:\/\/www.linuxworld.com\/news\/2010\/021810-oracle-set-to-merge-java.html\">linuxworld<\/a> ]<\/p>\n<div class=\"tweetmeme_button\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 10px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/api.tweetmeme.com\/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftechie-buzz.com%2Ftech-news%2Foracle-merge-jvm-technologies-hotspot-jrockit.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/api.tweetmeme.com\/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftechie-buzz.com%2Ftech-news%2Foracle-merge-jvm-technologies-hotspot-jrockit.html\" height=\"61\" width=\"51\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:12px\">\n<strong>Share:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/oracle-merge-jvm-technologies-hotspot-jrockit.html#commentrespond\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Comment on This Post<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?source=techiebuzz&#038;status=Oracle%20to%20merge%20two%20JVM%20technologies:%20HotSpot%20and%20JRockit%20http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/oracle-merge-jvm-technologies-hotspot-jrockit.html%20via%20@techiebuzzer\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Tweet This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/oracle-merge-jvm-technologies-hotspot-jrockit.html\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Share on Facebook<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/post?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/oracle-merge-jvm-technologies-hotspot-jrockit.html&#038;title=Oracle%20to%20merge%20two%20JVM%20technologies:%20HotSpot%20and%20JRockit\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Save to Delicious<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stumbleupon.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/oracle-merge-jvm-technologies-hotspot-jrockit.html\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Stumble This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/submit?phase=2&#038;url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/oracle-merge-jvm-technologies-hotspot-jrockit.html&#038;title=Oracle%20to%20merge%20two%20JVM%20technologies:%20HotSpot%20and%20JRockit\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Digg This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/oracle-merge-jvm-technologies-hotspot-jrockit.html&#038;title=Oracle%20to%20merge%20two%20JVM%20technologies:%20HotSpot%20and%20JRockit\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Reddit This<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div><strong style=\"font-size:11px;\">TAGS:<\/strong> <span style=\"text-transform:uppercase;font-size:11px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/oracle\" rel=\"tag\">oracle<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/sun\" rel=\"tag\">SUN<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<\/small><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#E1E1E1; border: dotted 1px; padding:5px; margin-top:5px;font-size:11px\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/oracle-merge-jvm-technologies-hotspot-jrockit.html\" title=\"Oracle to merge two JVM technologies: HotSpot and JRockit\">Oracle to merge two JVM technologies: HotSpot and JRockit<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\" title=\"Techie Buzz\">Techie Buzz<\/a> written by Chinmoy Kanjilal on Sunday 21st February 2010 05:19:25 PM.
