What is it about Java? So many of the apps I use that are written in Java just seem to crawl. But so many swear by it. J2EE, Swing, Beans, et all, stand in the bookstore and the only other shelves with that many titles are C++ and VB.

I need a cup o' java.....

>>We've got an application written in VFP 6.0 which is mainly built using objects. Our company now has a thing about Java and would rather like us to rewrite the application. Has anyone got any ideas about how we could gradually rewrite in Java and utilise class libraries that we've written in VFP. Probably not possible, but I thought I'd ask!
