I am interested in both, Java scripts/apps running on the client side
AND Java running on the HP 3000. We can get plenty of help currently
on Java scripts/apps on the client side, so I would prefer to see how
I could leverage Java as a language on my HP 3000. Here are some issues
that come to mind at this time:
 
-- Status of the Java port to MPE (availability, costs, support issues)
-- Java IDE for MPE?
-- Where will Java apps run, in MPE, Posix or both?
-- Class development to cover the basic MPE objects:
   -- Image/SQL
   -- Allbase/SQL
   -- KSAM
   -- MPE flat files of various types
   -- Intrinsics
-- Use of Java classes for socket i/o, both as client and server
-- How to connect Java server apps up to a www server
