Java isn't too slow - new versions, Java HotSpot techology, etc.
I'm using Java for 1) realtime computation and visualization and 2) my EEG files viewer is a lot faster than C++ one

Java is most powerful language from my point of view
- you can write ONE application with GUI and it just runs on Windows/x86, Linux/x86, Solaris/x86, MacOS X, Pegasos + Linux/PPC too ...

And NetBeans IDE really rulez!!! BTW software project from our Charles University

But I don't expect usable Java in next 3 years on MorphOS it's too difficult to create port. What happened to Genesi sponsored Java-port?
If there would be usable port of Java on MorphOS, it would automatically mean porting great NetBeans development IDE and millions of applications! So MorphOS Java port should not be underestimated, it's goldmine full of applications...
