This article represents information on migration from JRockit to HotSpot JVM. Recently, the migration guide from JRockit JVM to HotSpot JVM has been published. The information about the same can be found on this page. Please feel free to comment/suggest if I missed to mention one or more important points. Also, sorry for the typos.

The detailed information could be found on this page. Following are top 5 areas where changes need to be made for migrating from JRockit JVM to HotSpot JVM.
