Shame most of Oracle's own monitoring software relies heavily on java plugins!

I suspect the newly released Enterprise Manager 13 will remove the requirement.

Interesting, we use a CRM system that relies on Java. might need to lean on the powers that be to progress the plans to replace it!
 
Well this is interesting. The main software that people use at our place for pretty much everything runs in a Java applet.

Just another thing to add to the list of a million things that need to be rewritten from scratch.
 
I think it is a shame that so many people hate Java. Technically Java is very similar to languages like C# and Visual Basic. They all run on top of a virtual machine and even other languages like Scala and Clojure which seem to more highly regarded in the developer community are built on top of the Java virtual machine.

Java can be extremely fast for some tasks due to the fact that the virtual machine can optimise code as it is running which means that if the hot spot compiler detects some code that is running repeatedly then it can be optimised on the fly something which languages like C and C++ can't do since they have do all their optimisations ahead of time and therefore some optimisations are completely impossible.

The biggest problem with Java isn't anything to do with it technically it is to do with the poor security record that Oracle (and Sun before them) had. If they had spent more time on making sure that Java was bullet proof I doubt it would be as hated as it is now.

I mean people don't hate software written in C# and that is pretty much exactly the same concept as Java (yeah I know the languages themselves are totally different but the concept upon which they are both based is amazingly similar).
