  Not necessarily. We have a Java app that got broken in 1.4.1. I believe
that 1.4.2 fixed the problem, though.
  I've also had problems where the Tibco tibHawk display would fall over if
your class path wasn't _just right._ That was Tibco's fault, though.

  I'll agree to that. I've done Java development where members of the team
used Solaris, Windows and Linux, and we had no problems with it whatsoever.
