Use the CACAO virtual machine instead of HotSpot on x86, amd64 or SPARC architectures. Use the new version of HotSpot (16). Enable backport of NIO2 to OpenJDK6. Enable the new alpha-quality plugin which works with Firefox 3.6+ and Chromium. Enable NSS security provider support. Enable SystemTap probes in HotSpot. Enable support for using XRender with the AWT libraries. Enable the zero assembler port of HotSpot.
