==Desktop Use==
Two of the claims are not fact-based and maybe not relevant:
Two of the claims are not fact-based and maybe not relevant ot the subject: ''Tools used to develop graphical Java applications are fragmented and none is as popular as Microsoft's Visual Studio suite for developing Windows applications''; I never seen any comment about this on the web, especially to explain why Java is not widely used on the desktop. ''here are multiple versions of the JRE, which can introduce compatibility issues for Java applications installed on a system'': this is the same with ANY other language / platform, as C#, Python, Perl, even Flash, and as Java is (for the most part) upward compatible, especially at the binary-level, I think it is not a problem ; also, I never seen this explained as a specific weakness of Java which could reduce its desktop adoption (except on Wikipedia..). THe most seen claims on the net are Java memory usage, Java mostly don't follow platform GUI guidelines, extra-step to deploy Java-based apps (even if it is the same with a lot of other frameworks), and Java being non-free in the past.
