What is java Hotspot that I constantly come across when I read anything about Java ? Is it a product, VM, server... ? Why we need it and how is it used ?

I think that Jeff is pointing out that we expect a little bit of etiquette here at the Ranch. For example, you should Search First before posting a question that may have been answered a million times before.

Regardless of whether it was a sarcastic answer or not... the first hit in the google search is the Sun page that describes the hotspot technology, along with 3 whitepapers about it.

It looks like a valid starting point to me...

Though I dont agree with any of the comments made, I would refrain from any more arguments/comments so that other users can spend their time in this forum in a useful manner.
I wish these knowledgable users who 'replied' did the same.

I do have a question... Are you ignoring the source that was provided because you don't think it was useful? Or are you ignoring the source that was provided because it was mentioned in a sarcastic fashion?

Although, I agree, the answer wasn't provided in a nice fashion, the whitepapers that it points to, do address your question.

How is posting a relevant link sarcastic? Just curious.

I guess some people just want an easy answer spoon-fed to them. If so I have to wonder why they are bothering with programming and/or computer science.

This is rather subjective - I can imagine Jeff's post as being sarcastic, or not, depending on what preconceptions I might attach. Internet communication is like that - it's helpful if both parties remember that the "tone of voice" doesn't always translate from author to reader. If I'd made the post, I might have said:


The first link here gives a good explanation:

http://www.google.ca/search?q=Java+Hotspot


Hopefully that's a little more helpful-sounding. Beyond that though, I think it's perfectly appropriate to link to a Google search like that. Especially when you've verified that the first link really does answer the question.

I agree that in my rush to be empathetic to the original poster, I stepped a bit too far in the other direction -- If I offended I apologize.

And yes, programming, especially consulting, is sometimes like drinking from a firehose. You have to be able to learn really complex subjects quickly. And it does take a certain temperament.
