If the JVM is the only thing that must be ported, at least it's done one for all for a given platform. Ok, you can find different versions of the JVM, compatibility between Microsoft and Sun can be a problem. But globally , the concept is excellent, in practice, it works not so bad, and nobody can deny it is a success. After all, one could say you have to port the Ada compiler for each platform you want to use.
