Joe,

Thanks for the reference. I have printed it and will read it over my
upcoming vacation. (Yes, I'm a geek!) One question, how do we know this
is on the System i's JVM? Seriously, not trying to be a pain. The
preface to the article mentions the " IBM Developer Kit for Windows(tm),
Java Technology Edition, Version 1.1.7."

Why do you say it's just scratching the surface? I know it's old, and
I'm sure things have improved, but what is there to _show_ me the
improvements? "It's in there" might cut it for pasta sauce, not for
code! There's too much, IMO, on the System I that we're told "we don't
need to worry about" or "it's in there" that we can't see/tell for
ourselves. I want to understand at a detailed level and see.

As for incorporating older technology, remember the CLR has been around
for a while too. What I found nice was actually being able to see the
generated code and know that it had been done.
