in thread HTML as a GUI: part 32,523rd

I'm not really into Java at all, just sort of speaking off the cuff, but aren't there some compatibility issues between Java implementations? Mainly Microsoft's Java and Sun's Java. This may not be any sort of issue with what you are describing, but I have seen something of the sort cause problems in the past. Mainly, a Java app (using Sun's Java) not playing nice with MS's Java when we attempted to run the app on a server (so it wouldn't be tied to a workstation). Ended up we had to run it off a workstation where Sun's Java could be loaded. Just sort of tossing out my 2¢. :-)

    My coworkers ran into the same thing, but between 1.2 and 1.4. I wouldn't trust Java impementations farther than I can throw them.

      I've never trusted Java and I've been using things written in it (never programmed it) since it first came out (at least on the web, since about '95 or '96). I think in theory its a good idea, but it still has a long way to go before it will really be a practical solution, IMO :-)
