<< The problem is this is a byte-code to object code compiler. No more write-once run-anywhere, you write-once and compile everywhere - this makes OS and CPU dependent code. This is fine for some applications, but definitely not in sync with Sun's portability vision for Java, and not appropriate for consumer devices. >> Well, it's actually compile once and then post-process the byte code to produce machine code for different platforms. In the real world, I think that would work great for most apps. Mike
