Zing does not do you any good if you are selling software. Your income is reduced by the license cost of Zing in addition to the additional sales and deployment friction.

ah, understood. have you been tracking shenandoah? http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/189

I have heard of it but haven't read up. I think it's great that someone is stepping up to address the issue. Interesting that both the authors listed in the JEP work for Red Hat.

Shenandoah is unlikely to see the light of production release until Java 10. I ran a very early piece on this - http://www.jclarity.com/2014/03/12/shenandoah-experiment-1-w... - really glad to see more experiments in this space. I'll add that G1 from Java 8u5 onwards is pretty darn good out of the box.
