I am not primarily a Java developer, but I do write Java applications now and then, and the primary application I work on uses Tomcat and Opal to provide a SOAP interface to command line executables written in C.</p> <p>I keep seeing suggestions to simply use another JVM, but this seems seem ridiculously glib. At this point I believe an Oracle JVM that runs on OS X is purely a hypothetical. It seems like a reasonable solution, but given that Apple, Oracle, and Google seem to be in a 3-way pissing match, I fear it may be delayed for quite some time.</p> <p>I keep getting pointed to the <a href="http://openjdk.java.net/" rel="nofollow">OpenJDK</a>, but this seems to require building the JVM from source. That's fine for me personally, but not so great for my end users. I'm also pointed to the <a href="http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/static/soylatte/#get" rel="nofollow">Soy Latte</a> binary distribution built from the OpenJDK, but this is an X11 rather then a native implementation, and seems to be require a Java Research License.</p> <p>Can somebody point me to other JVMs for OS X, or disabuse me of any misconceptions I have about OpenJDK and SoyLatte?</p>
