HP offers support for Sun's JVM

NEWS Sun Microsystems' upcoming Java Virtual Machine (JVM) has already found support from Hewlett-Packard (HP) which has agreed to license the software. HP will use the JVM, bundled within Sun's JDK 1.2, in future versions of its HP-UX operating system. JDK 1.2 provides developers with HotSpot compiler technology for boosting Java's native performance. Additional features include a Java Foundation Classes interface and digital security technology. The company also has plans to incorporate the JVM in future Intel IA 64bit architecture products which are expected to arrive by 2000.
