When I got a PPC machine and a Linux machine, I thought I would be able to
gain portability with Java apps.. but that was a mirage.. the only machine I
own where Java works is XP pro. I don't get why Android can't run Java well.
I tis pretty silly from my view.
Are you saying that Java doesn't work on Linux, IBM mainframes, Solaris,
Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server, BSD, Mac or Android, or that you
don't own those machines? Because it does work on all those platforms.
The version of Java on Android is not the desktop version. So? How does Java
not work on Android?
You don't "gain portability" by writing in Java for all definitions of
"portability". If you had the wrong idea of what portability is, that ain't
Java's fault, sport. That's your fault.
What kind of portability did you want that you did not get? Don't Java 5
desktop programs work on all Java 5 and 6 desktop platforms? What are you
doing wrong that you are whining is Java's fault?
