This isn't just a virtualization issue - I upgraded my PC to Ubuntu 10.04 which uninstalled the Sun JDK and installed OpenJDK. Any development work I did in Netbeans which launched Glassfish completely crippled my machine. After removing OpenJDK and re-installing the Sun JDK, all was well again. This on a straight Linux machine, no virtualized anything. Given this, I cannot honestly recommend OpenJDK for any purpose what-so-ever.

Added on top of this is that the OpenJDK applet plugin doesn't support the Java console, so debugging applets is infeasible (there's a work-around to launch FireFox from a console, but that's not helpful when trying to debug for an end-user).

Comments on Virtualization <comments />


Onno Molenkamp said ...

The VIRT column doesn't say much about the amount of memory used. This can be easily seen by comparing the total amounts of memory used in both cases: they're more or less the same, even though the VIRT value for the java process is very different.
