|  | # Kaffe to the Desktop - Myths |

- Java is not free (no sources), requires a license
  Kaffe is GPLed (with complete sources). Kaffe has been rebuilt completely from the specs (proof of suitability)

- Java is too slow (interpreter)
  Kaffe has JIT (see performance and WAT (by means of Cygnus GCJ). We (all) can still make it even faster (GC, libs,..).

- Java AWT needs Motif
  Kaffe has Xlib (lightweight widgets) and GTK (native widgets) AWTs

- It's just for fun, why to use a new environment
  Can we really afford this? Ramification can be dangerous (what is the deal to publish something that will be unnoticed).
