We are heavily into IBMs technologey, we even ran Websephere studio
for a while which is the commerciasl version of eclipse... we also use
RUP clearcase and lotus we're an IBM company....

This is where we get lucky here people actually see the value of MX
(or MX7) I am hoping to see some good MX7 stuff by years end, which
probably means next year, we have one POC runnign right now on a
Websephere box. First they need to be reminded that if CF can't handle
the load thats implicitly saying Java cannot handle the load either. 
If it can not handle the load why does the gov't use it so much on
critical systems. If its a prototyping language why does a divisdion
of Ebay (half.com) use it for parts of thier website. My suggestion
was to take one of our Java achitects to CFUNITED and let him meet
some fo the people out there that are doing CF on clusters or load
balanced systems and let them talk first hand with those of us out
there using CF to its full potential...I know inhouse we are not even
close....Just my nickle and a few pennies.
