OpenJDK Under NetBSD5.0

[Ben Evans]

Hi Renju,

First of all, you should remember Djikstra:

*"Program testing can be a very effective way to show the presence of bugs,
but is hopelessly inadequate for showing their absence."*

Then think about what you're asking for - a systematic study of a brand new
JRE, which is still under active development, on a platform which is
somewhat niche.

You might want to ask yourself whether this is a reasonable thing to expect
someone else to have already made.

As to tools to help check the stability - why not simply set up a test
environment running whatever code you're currently running in production,
only on top of OpenJDK 7 and see how you get on? If you run into specific
performance issues, failures or regressions, then I think people here might
well be interested in hearing about them.

Thanks,

Ben
