It is more widely ported than some of the applications written in C++. In my very honest opinion, it doesn't help to have a programming language that is ported to all kinds of ancient or exotic hardware when installing and running on WinXP isn't possible or only with very much extra hacking work. Sun is taking efforts to really open their Java because they see that they have a disadvantage on Linux systems. Once Java is going to be as easy to install with any distribution packaging tool as gcc is, we can start talking again about platforms supported. GPL does have its advantages. -- Svenn _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
