You are not alone. I've written a few myself. Usually, I'm
told--somewhat politely--to go jump in the river. So, I simply avoid
that product. That's one big reason why I'm celebrating that my
employer no longer uses BMC's "Magic" trouble-ticket system (IE-only).
We switched to something that is Firefox-friendly. Even Cisco is
starting, slowly, to see the light.
Actually, most things that need to be done can also be done with
cross-platform JavaScript. This would eliminate the need for a Java VM
in the first place.
