This guide helps users of Oracle JRockit migrate to Java HotSpot VM (Java platform, Standard Edition). The document describes the command-line options and tools available in Oracle JRockit and their equivalents in the HotSpot JVM.
The target audience for this document comprises of developers and users who are using Oracle JRockit and planning to migrate to Java Development Kit (JDK), which is Oracle's implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE). The current release is Java SE 8 and JDK 8; however, most of the information in this document can be applied to releases earlier than JDK 8.
This document is intended for readers with a detailed understanding of the components of the Java HotSpot VM, and also some understanding of concepts such as garbage collection, threads, and native libraries. In addition, it is assumed that the reader is reasonably proficient with the operating system where the Java application is developed and run.
