Takes too much CPU when being scanned by McAfee, is configured (centrally) to cache on the home drive, which is mapped to the network, on a windows machine, which probably scans it once more... Should change, can be changed (probably, he said, with a hopeful glimpse in his eyes), but for now, I can demonstrate home brew applications (and there are a LOT!) work equally well, or better, without JInitiator.
I can find all kinds of JVM's (not all JInitiator) being supported, but not one statement, that eBS is supported without JInitiator. And I know that is of great value for the organisation I work for now.

Just want ammo to be ready for the discussion with the eBS maintainers. Or, if the answer is a definitive and firm "no", there won't be a discussion at all.
