Apache Harmony JDK
As of this writing, the open source Apache Harmony JDK (http://harmony.apache.org) runs Tomcat 6.0. During light testing, we encountered no problems with Tomcat itself, however, some webapps had some trouble. It is possible that your webapp may run successfully. Unless you try your webapp running on Apache Harmony, you won't know if it works, nor will you know if it performs better or worse.
This may become mostly a nonissue for most people once Sun's JDK is available as pure open source. But, if you need to redistribute the JDK with your Tomcat and webapp(s), and if your company needs or wants to make any modifications to the JDK or to the Java core class libraries that you must keep closed, Harmony's more permissive license terms may be an important differentiating factor.
To try it out, download an archive of the Harmony JDK from http://harmony.apache.org/downloads.html. Here's how it looked when we installed Harmony on Linux:
#cd /opt#tar zxvf ˜/harmony-jdk-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
Then, set JAVA_HOME and put Harmony's
bin directory on the front of your shell's PATH:
