I agree. We recently did a job for code signing applications that will reside in Cell Phone's using MS SmartPhone OS. This project could not be written all the way in Java. While we did as much as possible in Java the only way to verify the signed files and then resign the cab file with our certificate was to use MS code libraries and write C++ code.
What I am now working on is a way to integrate building the C++ code on Win 2K into our automated build process which is Java/Ant. The only thing working to my favor is that we build on Win2K platform so at least I don't have to build on multiple machines. - DD -----Original Message----- From: David McTavish [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 13:17 To: 'Ant Users List' Subject: RE: Recommendations for moving from java to .NET Maybe such immature comments are better left untyped, or at best, posted to a different newsgroup. You should, at the least, acknowledge the fact that they are still contemplating the use of ant, which, in my mind, is a HUGE compliment to the tool. I for one, would like to see ant's use become more "standard" within the industry, and NOT just for java development. The biggest drawback is that there isn't a lot of internal/core support for non-java development efforts, but with people having interest, maybe this will be addressed. I know we started using ant because it worked well with Java, but since, we've expanded to use it with our C++, VB, and java code. It would be nice, that when our development efforts MUST include (by customer demand) that we support the .NET framework, that we do not have to re-think our build methodology because of tool support. d. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 1:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Recommendations for moving from java to .NET > -----Original Message----- > From: Nau, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 12:39 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Recommendations for moving from java to .NET > > We are looking into shifting our component-based development > environment from java & j2ee to c# & .NET. HAHAHAHA. That's the best joke I've heard all day. Someone actually going TO .NET from Java/J2EE! HAHAHAHAHA. Wait... maybe he's serious? HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAH AHA Even funnier!
