Jeremy Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Beleive it or not, but I've installed java on my computer.Just for limewire. LOL<{POST_SNAPBACK}> To each their own, but LimeWire *SUCKS*. Searches for everything you're not looking for, takes forever to start up and shut down...Ahem, anyway, I don't like Java. I don't go anywhere that requires Java. Although, I had to install it today to test if I could do a loopback connection to my own PC with UltraVNC, which *RULES*. Once I found out it worked, I uninstalled the Java. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonu27 Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 Its good, what I dont get it why don't you just build in another format that does not require java, then no-one will have to download it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Well, probably java VM is growing in popularity again now. Coz you cannot stay away from it, if u are into....Azureus !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Java is a great language but it has not become mainstream in terms of desktop apps simply because of that fact that the basic premise of Java to write once and run anywhere requires that the program run on top of a virtual machine and that is why there is a long time to load up the program. Though performance has improved and though I am an avid Java fan I still dont think that despite all its improvements in JDK 1.5 in terms of performance Java still has a long while to go. There are options however where you wrote the app in Java but then you compile it into an exe file and you run it natively thus giving you full speed.I am working on getting my Java cert next week for the programmer version and then hope to get the dev exam out of the way as well if I pass the programmer exam first!

Crash&Burn Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hmm compile into an exe? now that might be promising. As for Limewire? I mean come on that's gotta be the most sluggish P2P around heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Yes I dont like Limewire but did you know Azureus was written in Java as well and it runs **** fast!! It is a darn good desktop app if you ask me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonu27 Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 The poll is currently Yes: 21 and No: 21.I wonder if I didn't put "I hate it!" as the topic description, how the results would have been then. I might be influencing people's results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n7Epsilon Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 (edited) I don't like Java as programs created with it are relatively slow and memory consuming...But its cross-platform capabilities (plus it runs fast enough in Linux), and the Grasshopper project that converts .NET into Java are good points...But I still don't like Java, Java sites are very slow... @ sonu now its 21:22 !
