It depends on how "embedded" you want to be. If you're looking to build a trivial appliance, I'd recommend Forth rather than Java. By the time you put a JRE and all the associated frippery onto a general-purpose system you don't really have an "embeddable" product anymore. But really, without much more in the way of context, it's hard to be truly helpful. 8) -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
