There free and open implementations of Java? I think Blackdown Java and one from IBM? What does Debian use (they are very particular that everything is open source). I believe it is only Swing that is not available under an acceptable open source license. I learnt to code in Java and the only issues I have is that it can run slowly and makes it difficult to associate a program with a file type. Both of these issues are holding back my organisations adoption of Gantt Project.
