Ted explains how to plug JRocket into an existing JDK 1.4.1 JRE:

Ted Neward: First, I created a subdirectory in my standard JDK 1.4.1 install structure, j2sdk1.4.1/jre/bin/jrockit. Into this directory I copied the jvm.dll and Xusage.txt files that came from JRockit itself. Then, after adding a line "-jrockit KNOWN" into my JDK 1.4.1's jvm.cfg file (so that the launcher would recognize "-jrockit" as a viable command-line option), I fired up the standard Sun JDK java launcher with the command line "java -jrockit Hello". Sure enough, it worked.
