It's a decent cross-platform way of delivering libraries compared to C
libraries.  We've been forced into Java because fewer and fewer credit
card processing libraries are available as C libraries.  Just yesterday,
I ran into some annoyance because the PGP library I'm using doesn't allow
recombining their .jar files due to signing.  Which has some good and bad
features, I suppose.
