Which Java edition or high frequency trading? JIT, Java RTS, JRockit Any others?
I am looking at building a high frequency trading (HFT) platform. I always read about the C++ and Java debate for near zero latency. In the world of Java, how does one get around the Garbage Collector to remove the unpredictability of it? I have come across three potential options:

Java RTS

http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/realtime/index.jsp

JIT

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation

and JRockit

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JRockit

As you can imagine, this adds to the confusion. Is anyone out there have any experience what my best option is for the above for an HFT environment?  What are the pros and cons of each? Am I missing any other potential options within the world of Java? Also, I am using CentOS Linux for this.

Thanks
