We, like a lot of others have been waiting for a while for this client and we look like waiting a while longer. I have wondered since I heard that the client would written in Java who in their right mind would use Java for such an application. We have enough trouble getting the data off of our Auspexes (Auspices?) with a real sparc and yet you expect a virtual machine to be up to the task.
I understand why Java was chosen, I just don't understand why anyone thought that it would work.
