The restrictions cited in the Technote serve as further evidence that Java is a failure and liability as a software execution environment. Every package we come upon that employs Java imposes severe restrictions within which it will function, with specific Java requirements that can make it impossible to implement multiple Java-based applications in the same computer because of their conflicting requirements. Past postings in the ADSM-L archives express customer dissatisfaction in dealing with Java. The fragmentation and disparities in Java make it an IT liability.
IBM obviously went to Java so as to have a develop-once approach for writing software for multiple platforms. But while Java is a convenience for developers, it is perpetually problematic for customers. As a software developer, I view Java as a fad which has fallen flat, creating more problems than it solves, getting worse rather than better over time.
