I think IBM is drinking the kool-aid that Java is the "write once, run
anywhere" solution. And they're hoping to reduce costs by such a thing.
However they're running into user interface issues. And much of iSeries
Access is heavily depending on user interface. After all, can you take
this new java based version and run it on java capable handheld devices?
No. I am thinking it's a wasted effort to replace the iSeries Access for
Windows product. And, what concerns me more, is that they may use it to
sunset the iSeries Access for Windows product and iNav's replacement will
be the port 2001 product.
