If you have compiled for Java 1.6, you need at least OpenJDK 1.6. There are rare cases where Hotspot and OpenJDK are different but since Hotspot is based on the OpenJDK you are more likely to see minor differences in build versions.

Both JVMs comply with the JLS spec and IMHO are practically reference implementations. The OpenJDK is the open standard and a HotSpot is widely used as the commercial standard. The releases are almost exactly the same.

You can install the same version of Hotspot on Ubuntu if this is a real concern.
