Tim:
Its like this: Lettuce. That is what Java is. Pure Java is like radinnicinco. So when you give me Iceberg lettuce, yes it is lettuce but I don't like it. Some folks think that their Java JNI code is actually Java, but it will not work without external help. Thus the need for Java API "interfaces" which actually call 'c' API function calls. This is why some folks have actually given up on Java and moved onto C# (yes folks the C that Microsoft makes.) What I would like to see is a Pure Java implementation of some of the products. Why? Not everyone runs Windows/Solaris and actually NEED to run "something" against our beloved Remedy ARS.
So, it is either build something from 'c' code or implement in Java WITHOUT running a JNI interface. Get the point? Calling something "Java" does not necessarily mean "Write Once, Run Everywhere". And if you want bloatware, Java takes the cake.

Oh, gee. Now we're all on pins and needles. So these things that I've been compiling with .java extensions, these classes that I run in the JVM -- if they're not Java, what exactly *are* they, James?
Look, it's like saying anything that isn't managed code isn't .NET. It's illogical. Sun had hoped that JNI would serve as a bridge between legacy code and pure Java implementations. I'm afraid some organizations will never get around to phase two (viz., dump that legacy code). But that doesn't mean it isn't Java.
"Write once, run anywhere" is a nice marketing slogan, and it's certainly a laudable goal, but it is not an exclusively defining characteristic.

RE: help With API** Axton:
You are correct. My statement was:
If it is a Java program, then it should run anywhere. This is obviously not a Java application.

Java JNI wrappers require the native c libs for each platform.
