Well, concidering that Daytona was a Java port in progress, one that was
looking really promissing, I'd say the only problem is getting someone to
do the work to create a port.  It just takes alot of time and effort.  The
reason Daytona was abandoned was that the guy creating it, halfway through
the project, took a job at a place that was developing another programming
language, and continuing to work on a Java port would have been a conflict
of interest.  :-/

Still, I gather there's at least some chance that TAO's version of Java
might get ported to Amiga Classic.
