Absolutely. I've written a number of "real" projects in Java. Further, I use a number of applications that are written in Java. (E.G. PCGen)

Some friends of mine run a company of 20 people writing solutions to real world problems (under contract) using java. They've been doing this for years. I've been really impressed by a lot of the stuff they've done. obLinux: They are really committed to OSS & Linux too. They've been using Linux desktops for development since the mid 90s. For most of its history the company had 1 MS-Windows licence for an accounting box. Even that may have changed by now, who knows :) Rob -- Robert Brockway B.Sc. email: robert-5LEc/6Zm6xCUd8a0hrldnti2O/JbrIOy at public.gmane.org, zzbrock at uqconnect.net Linux counter project ID #16440 (http://counter.li.org) "The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens" -Baha'u'llah -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
