If you have access to it, and no policy reasons not to use it, then
definitely.

And in so far as Sun's Java has usually been backwards compatible,
there's little reason not to.

icedtea 1.6, 1.7 or openjdk 1.7 ; doesn't matter.

Regardless, java-gnome doesn't use *anything* in areas of Sun's standard
library that are proprietary and patent encumbered (which makes sense;
the stuff in the binary plugs was mostly the graphics stuff from Kodak,
and we sorta use someone else's widget toolkit :))

So you can just worry about finding a VM that works period and you'll be
set.

As for "which is better", that will of course entirely depend on what
your application is doing and how you tune it, but I don't think you'll
find java-gnome the bottleneck.

[we have areas we're working to improve, naturally, but nothing urgent
at this point - indeed, every risk of premature optimization. The
initial design decisions and architecture are holding up very well]
