Q: First off, what does it mean for a program to be 100% Pure Java?

A: Basically, a pure Java program is one that relies only on the
documented and specified Java platform. That means no native methods,
no external dependencies aside from the Java Core APIs, and some other
requirements that are detailed in the developer's Certification Steps
on our Web site. The certification process verifies that the code is
in fact 100% Pure Java.

But I *do* want to understand. Are you saying it's all about religion?

No. It's all about how the technology works.

:: No, it's about how people work the technology. And about needless overcomplication of process and method to keep in step with the latest Big Idea.
