RE: Java vs VisualAge RPG

In basic terms, Java has much greater support than you'd ever have with VARPG 
or any other flavor of RPG.  Also, with the Windows based RPG compilers, you're 
basically stuck with that app requiring some version of Windows to run.  I know 
that VARPG can generate Java bytecode, but that fails to make it portable.....

I posted a similar thread in Java400, but thought I'd ask here as well. 

Has anyone here ever evaluated Java vs VisualAge RPG?  Just doing a
little investigation and was wondering if anyone here had thoughts on
the matter.

I appreciate your input,
