Use the CACAO virtual machine rather than HotSpot. Link against the CUPS library at compile time, rather than using it dynamically at runtime. Don't install the X backend for AWT, needed by some GUIs (used to be X flag) Use the JamVM virtual machine rather than HotSpot. If possible, recompile the final IcedTea executables with itself. Enable browser plugin (NPPlugin), requires also the webstart flag to be enabled. Apply patch needed for pax enabled kernels. Include the Shenandoah ultra-low pause time garbage collector (-XX:+UseShenandoahGC) (x86_64 only) Build the PCSC driver against pcsc-lite Build the SunEC provider against system NSS Enable Zero assembler port (usually for non-HotSpot architectures) Enable Web Start support (via NetX).
