Java does a whole lot more than PHP; libraries exist for everything from
PDF creation to image transformation to ...

I agree there agree probably more comprehensive libraries available for Java
- but you picked the wrong examples <grin> - PDF and image
creation/transform are both supported. Modifying PDFs is a "for-fee"
library I believe but the base includes PDF creation - I've played with it
some. Excel spreadsheets etc. too.

for RPG are the EGL crew!

Yes, them... <harrumph>

ROTFL! Yeah - I'm persona non grata with them right now for daring to
suggest that they were insane to think that EGL would take over from RPG.
The sad thing is it is a great tool with huge potential - in certain
specific areas - many of them the same ones as PHP and Java. But I doubt it
will ever take off on System i because of a) Cost b) Too mainframe oriented
and c) Its promoters insistence that it is equivalent to the second coming!
