Yes, Java is very stable, from what I have seen.
Java is a language, and UNIX is an operating system, so they
are not directly comparable. For example, our java product is
currently "supported" on IBM's Unix (AIX), Windows NT, and
Windows 95 (more platforms coming, testing/install/db-integration
issues arise on each platform, Java itself is not the hindrance).
Unix is known for being very stable, and I think
most Java programmers will concur that Java is very stable also.
From what I have seen in my project, Unix (AIX, in this case)
is much more stable than Win NT or Win 95, running Java or anything
else. By that I mean that both Win products tend to lock-up the
computer (ie, crash) every now and then, while I have
NEVER seen Unix do that - using AIX here at work,
Solaris in grad school, BSD unix in college, etc.
