Line 61:
Two of the claims are not fact-based and maybe not relevant:
* ''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.
: This also appears to be a very strange claim that Microsoft's Visual Studio suite is more widely used for developing Graphical Java applications than [[eclipse]]. I suspect 5 years ago this may have been close to the truth, but I would be amazed if it is true now.
* ''There 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 weakness of Java which could reduce its desktop adoption (except on Wikipedia..).
* The claims seen 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. [[User:Hervegirod|Hervegirod]] 12:34, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
