Scalability and Reuse

Java's object model
- Lack of multiple inheritance
- Interface inheritance
Easy to learn, but hard to finish an application
- Large testing matrix - worse than C/C++
  - Several VMs per OS must be supported
  - Java version differences - especially 1.0 vs 1.1
- Poor existing application shells
  - Limited support for local features (odoc events)
  - Write your own shell, but then why use with Java?
"Security" often compromises design simplicity
