Re: Check this out. iSeries Access for Linux!!

I didn't say Eclipse is a run time environment, but it is supposed to make
the applications for Java run at a lot better speeds due to how they handle
windowing.

My point is, if they design it with certain cross platform technologies and
practices in mind, getting it to run on multiple platforms shouldn't be too
hard, now a days.
