A while ago, an internal memo by some SUN engeneers got leaked, which describes the most serious problems of the Java environment:
"This document details the difficulties that keep our Solaris Java implementation from being practical for the development of common software applications. It represents a consensus of several senior engineers within Sun Microsystems. We believe that our Java implementation is inappropriate for a large number of categories of software application." "Our experience in filing bugs against Java has been to see them rapidly closed as "will not fix". 22% of accepted non-duplicate bugs against base Java are closed in this way as opposed to 7% for C++. Key examples include:" 4246106 Large virtual memory consumption of JVM 4374713 Anonymous inner classes have incompatible serialization 4380663 Multiple bottlenecks in the JVM 4407856 RMI secure transport provider doesn't timeout SSL sessions 4460368 For jdk1.4, JTable.setCellSelectionEnabled() does not work 4460382 For Jdk1.4, the table editors for JTable do not work. 4433962 JDK1.3 HotSpot JVM crashes Sun Management Center Console 4463644 Calculation of JTable's height is different for jdk1.2 and jdk1.4 4475676 [under jdk1.3.1, new JFrame launch causes jumping] The whole memo is here: http://www.internalmemos.com/memos/memodetails.php?memo_id=1321 Groeten, Irwin Oppenheim [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~* Chazzanut Online: http://www.joods.nl/~chazzanut/ To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
