Hello everyone,


I am wondering what is the differences between Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM and the J2SE VM I downloaded from java.sun.com?

Are they the same thing? Why Hotspot VM has client and server version?


thanks in advance,
George

Hotspot is a technology employed by the Sun JVMs.

Client and server VMs have different optimisations. Generally the server VM will be faster but at the expense of using more memory.
