	I do a good deal of java development under linux.  Basically, for
different projects and needs, I use the JDK 1.1 ports from blackdown
(http://java.blackdown.org), the JDK1.2 production releases from Sun
(somewhere off of java.sun.com), the kaffe virtual machine from
transvirtual (http://kaffe.org) and the jikes java compiler (no URL
handy).
	The IBM JDKs are supposed to be faster than the blackdown and sun
JDKs, but I haven't tried them (the 1.1 project is in maintanence mode and
the 1.2 codebase we have doesn't run under the IBM's 1.3 port, and I
haven't had time to triage what is going on yet).
