i didn't make it past the contents. too hard for silly me.
Whoa. Thanks for the link -- I was actually at some point
considering
maybe to get into the Java field instead of being stuck with
C/C++ at
work, but after reading that page, I was completely dispelled
of the
notion. I think I would lose my sanity after 5 minutes of
clicking
through those endless submenus, typing out XML by hand (argh),
and
writing 50 pages of Java legalese and setting up 17 pieces of
scaffolding just to get a Hello World program to run. Whoa! I
think I
need therapy just skimming over that page. This is sooo
over-engineered
it's not even funny. For all their flaws, C/C++ at least
doesn't require
that level of inanity...
But of course, if I could only write D at my job, that'd be a
whole lot
different... :-P

Modern JEE is quite different from that tutorial.
Besides you don't use JEE for HelloWorld, rather for distributed
applications.
C/C++ don't provide half the tools that allow JEE to scale across
the cluster and the respective monitoring infrastructure.
JEE is the evolution of distributed CORBA applications in the
enterprise, with .NET enterprise applications being the evolution
of DCOM.
Both games that C++ lost its place at.
