Hi,

I've been using the Linux emulated jdk 1.4.1 from pkgsrc. I haven't done
any real tests, but perceived performance is no different on NetBSD than
on a similar machine running Linux. I have been making heavy use of
threads, Swing, CORBA and other Java network API's without problem. In
short, I'd be prepared to use NetBSD and Java in a production
environment but YMMV.
