Paul,
I wasn't talking about server side applications. I was talking about GUI
stuff and I have seen significant problems with those. That's why my
department has largely abandoned Java for anything that requires a GUI (and
that's why they're insisting everything that possibly can be implemented
with entirely server-side code should be so implemented). Getting GUI apps
to run correctly on Macs seems to be particularly problematic.
In any case, as I've said before, all my customers are using Windows and
have no plans to even test anything else so Java is poor choice for my
applications.

Why such a hostility to Java? C# is nothing more than a Java clone. And
a
bad one at that since (well actually NET, not C# the language), since it
does not have the advantage of Java: write once run anywhere.
I've programmed in both and I have to disagree that C# is just a Java
clone. In any case, I've found the "write once, run anywhere" mantra to
be
largely
a myth.
And that is pure BS. I have been writing XPlatform Java apps for six
years.
I usually write on a Linux or Windows Box, and deploy to AIX, Solaris,
Linux, HP-UX, or Windows. Have also deployed to Mainframes and AS400s. In
no case, have I ever had to write a new program for one platform over the
other, unless I am working with JNI, or making system specific calls.
Earlier GUI development did have problems multi-deploy problems,
especially
if you did not use Layout managers correctly.
I've still found very few things that will actually run reliablyAgain pure BS, unless you are specifically speaking of GUI apps. Then I
the same way with different VMs on different platforms. It's more like
write one, test everywhere and keep your fingers crossed.
would agree. But this was concerning WEB development in the original
thread. Rails is not fat client oriented.
