sorry, eclipse framework to support multiple jvms is just more bloat in the language, not a smart choice.
it's a cop-out, and the eclipse team should all be shot for stupidity.

huh? Do you mean more than one JVM instance, or more than one vendor? If you mean more than one vendor than yes, that is a problem. No 2 JVMs are the same. If you mean more than one instance, than you don't understand how Java works

Eclipse doesn't have a "framework to support multiple jvms" afaik, and it definately isn't part of the language. Don't drag eclipse into this, it's a great piece of software, many developers (Java and C++ alike) could learn a lot from it's design. Your ignorance just demonstrates your lack of understanding.
