    <p>For Java SE there are several JVM's available for running in production on x86:</p> <ul> <li>IBM J9 </li> <li>Oracle JRockit - <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jrockit/index.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jrockit/index.html</a></li> <li>Apache Harmony - <a href="http://harmony.apache.org/" rel="noreferrer">http://harmony.apache.org/</a></li> <li>The one in OS X (if a Mac) which appears to be Sun with Aqua Swing.</li> <li>OpenJDK</li> </ul> <p>plus some custom offerings for running on a server:</p> <ul> <li>Azul - <a href="http://www.azulsystems.com/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.azulsystems.com/</a></li> <li>Google App Engine Java - <a href="http://code.google.com/intl/da/appengine/docs/java/overview.html" rel="noreferrer">http://code.google.com/intl/da/appengine/docs/java/overview.html</a></li> </ul> <p>Other platforms:</p> <ul> <li>Sun Solaris JVM - better scalability than x86?</li> <li>(edit) GNU compiler for Java - <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/java/" rel="noreferrer">http://gcc.gnu.org/java/</a> - can compile to native code on multiple platforms.</li> </ul> <p>The Sun JVM has a distinct advantage with the jvisualvm program, which allows runtime inspection of running code. Is there any technical advantages of any other JVM that might make it a better choice for development and/or production? </p> <p>In other words, is there a killer facility or scenario that would make any investment of time/effort/money worth it in another JVM? </p> <p>(Please also suggest additional JVM's if they would be a good choice).</p>

    1. COUnless I'm missing something, Azul and Google App Engine give you what they give you. The JVM isn't really part of the consideration. Would you host on Google app engine instead of your own hardware because of the JVM? Of course if it was a bad JVM, that is different, but I am mean assuming it is adequate, it doesn't seem to be a driver in such a decision, so it seems that it shouldn't really be part of the question.

    2. COAzul and Google App Engine both allow deployments of Java applications (with some restrictions). Question was if there was a facility that was so fantastic that it would be beneficial to know about it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
