The difference is that the massive collection of classes in java are built in the language itself. You don't happen to bump on a Java deployment without them. When you plan a large scale deployment on an heterogeneous base, these kind of stuff matters a lot.

Anyway. It seems that some people took a nice opportunity to talk about differences and threw it away, feeling personally attacked by my point of view. I even got my (first) enemy. Hows is that? As this is not my intention, I will stop replying to this thread.

As a proof that it is not my intention to troll. I kept replying under my id to the end, which is not the case for some other people. The way this thread when is why I spent much less time on Slashdot and its comment session.

Please, those who can, mod parent way up to stop flaming and trolling. The summary, as usual, is not clear about what was going on. There was a real issue with the duplicate name and it was not just a pet peeve.

Most importantly: it is already solved

I would prefer if the brain power got behind one project too, but because OpenOffice just died! ;-)

Please, give us separate strafe keys! ;-)
