I know almost nothing about JAVA. Maybe even less.
The language you know best, is your best language - this might be diffrent
for diffrent persons.
Does JAVA have capabilities that cannot be performed in RPG? What is/are
the advantages of JAVA over RPG?
Nearly everything could be done with nearly every programmin language (all
are running on very similar machines), programming effort and
maintainability might differ!!!
Java is better suited for Multithreading as it has built in support.
RPG has very limited capabilities for high modularisation, as it has no
namespaces.
Java has lots of high quality Open Source libraries.
Java has much better Development tools: RDI is very expensive and has no
refactoring capabilities. (e.g. in Eclipse you could rename nearly
everything on project scope and Eclipse does the rest).
Java has much better support for error handling, as the compiler is checking
this.
Java is the dominating educational language:: it's rather easy to hire well
educated Java programmers, not so RPG.
It might be more easy for RPG programmers to find a job.
Is there a web page that explains any of this?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming_languages
As a conclusion of this:
Java is very diffrent from RPG and you can't make a java project, only
having RPG programmers; you would need a senior Java programmer.
