I have to disagree -- the METAIP gui is written in a JAVA version, and a WIN32 version.
The WIN32 version is much more responsive than the JAVA. The Java one is extremely slow, and does not always respond to your keystrokes. I'll hit the + key to expand a branch, and it will close the entire tree. I have other software written in both JAVA and WIN32. In every case, I use the WIN32 version. Although I have nothing against a JAVA version, please don't make me use it. When selecting between software written in JAVA and software written in WIN32 (C++, VB, etc) I will always choice the later. IBM has decided to write all their new code in JAVA. Client Access Operations Navigator is an example -- and boy does the GUI suck. It locks up, and is also very slow. This also holds true for some E-Mail management software recently I looked at from a nameless company. We will not go with their software.

Then Checkpoint could concentrate on making one version for all platforms and the GUIs, which is an important part of the product would become truly multiplatform.
