I've quite a bit of working using sun's java. From using the Swing class, to corba and some db connectivity. I find java to be too much for most applications and I prefer to stick to shell scripting. (My theory of how we will write code in the future will come down to the choice of a well designed scripting language. CPU cycles are soooo cheap, that why bother compile stuff these days...)
