The hell it was someone that never contribs...and what i meant by it being
"portable" is that the compiled executables work exactly the same way on
every platform. This is because java doesn't compile into a real
executable, it compiles into byte code for a virtual machine. This virtual
machine is what is emulated by all the various java interperters out
there. All of them are SUPPOSED to do it exactly the same way, but there
are some flaws here and there in people's implementations...
