Sorry, but in my case that's not possible - the choice of
language wasn't mine and I now have to get it to work.
Moreover, part of the project is a DLL with bindings for
Python and I guess this could become a bit difficult with
a pure Java solution without any C/C++. And even if I would
be able to switch to Java I still would be interested in
answers to the questions (or getting told that some or all
of them are misunderstandings or based on rumours), just
out of mere curiosity;-)
                           Best regards, Jens
