Those applications (ERP, telecom, etc) are typically outside of the domain knowledge of the majority of the audiences of PIClist (electronics engineering professionals or hobbyists). After all, Oracle, IBM, SAP all rely on Java and they are the leaders in the business software world. I am not saying that I know Java and it is arguable those big applications run well or not. I am not a Java fan myself based on my limited exposure to Java based application (eg Lotus Notes). However, I am saying we are probably not knowledgeable enough to judge Java based applications. --=20 Xiaofan --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
