But in practice, every Java developer I've met was of the "write once, test everywhere" school of thought. I know when I looked at it (5 years ago!), even the simplest applets would often need tweaking to run on say Netscape v.s. IE, or for that matter, Netscape (PC) v.s. Netscape (SGI). So I really wouldn't be comfortable assuming a non-trivial app would work across different Java implementations.
