I've seen Java projects there, too. Lets see: big stockbroking firms using it, banks, the first secure Health Intranet in the world uses it... not bad, considering the age of the product... compare it to VB at the same age, or FP- FP2.0 would not be out yet...

Ahem! J++ is not the only Win32 Java and is certainly not the most mature!
The Supercede example I gave is also targeted at Win32- in fact you can compile 32bit code that does not need a JVM. IMHO most Java products acknowledge the primacy of Win32... Visual Cafe, Vibe, Supercede, JBuilder, are all *far* more mature than J++ and all allow Win32.
Never mind... lets leave the topic!

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
