Re: JVM problems with RPG (was IBM's RPG Strategy)

Scott,

I'm out of my mind?  How about avoiding the ad hominem attack.

I'd like to hear more about your problems getting the JVM to run at your
shop.  Anyone else having JVM crashes like Scott?

My shop is only using Java to do some seriously important stuff like
customer credit card encryption.  Calling the encryption routines in Java
from RPG programs.  In this case Java is a set of useful APIs we can use to
solve problems.  I'm not aware of this shop having any trouble with the JVM
crashing.

We're not using Java just because it's portable.  Java is useful for more
than portability.

Also, I'm basing my 'best JVM' remark on those great high end benchmarks
I've recently seen.
