Hi:

It's Friday, so I couldn't keep myself from jumping onto this thread....

Java seems to be the main reason why (and language in which)
people want to re-write CA client code.

In theory, that might be smaller & cleaner than
the original because Java provides platform independent
network access, threads, signals, exceptions, ...
So it's a real worthwhile effort.

Does this work in reality or is every new JDK just
different enough and we open another can of worms,
just this time in a half-interpreted language,
after K&R C, ANSI C, Posix, STL, C++ standard library
are all failed standards that force us to implement libCom,
most of which only exists in order to provide one API 
regardless of hardware, OS & compiler?

Sorry,
-Kay
