There are two aspects to the issue of RPG and OOP.  First, we are
working on making it easier to call Java methods from RPG.

The other issue is:  Do we want RPG to become an OO language?  I've
expressed my opinion before that OO is best done using an OO language,
such as Java.  For an example of how awful hybrid langauges can be,
just look at C++.
