Another concern with Java is that it acheives portability at the cost of enforcing a lowest common denominator. For example, all real Windows applications support OLE, and all real Mac applications support Apple Events. Java applets, and even applications, can't do either. To me, that makes the accomplishment of portability a bit less impressive, even if it were so.
On the other hand, you have the potential for running a second Java applet inside a first Java applet, achieving OLE in a portable fashion, across all operating systems.
