Linux, OpenJDK, and RapidMiner: Bad Idea

I'm using RapidMiner under Linux (Kubuntu Lynx). From the beginning on, the user interface was slow.

As it turned out, the standard-java installed was OpenJDK 6.

As soon as I installed Sun Java 6, the interface was fast as hell, and some bugs that had been bugging me for days simply vanished.

So, it seems like a good idea not to use any non-Sun Java to run RM.

    Hi Sebastian,

    RM is still fast, but after some hours of usage unfortunately the bugs re-appeared, see also my  post
