  No, there's a lot to be said for Java's cross-platform capabilities.
Currently, if I want to access CA from java, I need to build the CA
library for every platform on which my Java app will run.

  This is fairly close to home for me, since I am working on a 
StripTool-esque Java app.  I had tossed around the idea of implementing
the CA protocol in Java, but have settled instead on relying upon a
CORBA <-> CA gateway.

  I think this is one of a whole realm of programs which don't need
optimal speed to perform efficiently, but which can benefit greatly
from the rich API java provides.
