Unless this application is already written, it's going be at least a few months before any Java applications are finished. I guess I still don't understand what point you are making. Is it that you think that a company would be taking a risk trying to write an enterprise application in Java? I wouldn't disagree with that, but they would be taking a risk no matter what they did at the moment. The MIS world is in flux today, so any action requires betting that you understand the future. My take is that Java has enough momentum to be a viable language/platform, provided Oracle can execute on their expressed strategy (and I think that they can based on the first version of 8i).
