Java as a real time language? >Tell me that this is a hoax, please. > At an AFNOR-Ada (French standardization body) we had a discussion about this yesterday. It seems that by real-time Java, people really mean "embedded Java", i.e. in SmartCards for example. When I asked how extensive dynamic allocation and garbage collector could be used in smart-cards, people told me that there were restrictions, like only final classes with only final methods... When I asked why use Java rather than C, and why not call such "classes" packages, I had no answer... sigh. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- J-P.
