Thanks for your responses and advices to my
questions, its much appreciated.
Jonathan, your are right that a mix of C, C++ and 
java is not desired, and if the C/C++ part gets too
big I will drop java completely. I hope that I can
keep the C/C++ modules to an absolute minimum.
Hopefully in a few device drivers.
I'm hoping that it would be possible to run the program
on a normal windows box, a real linux box and the
new embedded box. You know: WORA.
Is it really true that a gcj program is approximately
twice as big as a C/C++ program? If thats true I
definitely have to have that in my mind when I do
my decisions.
Why are all these metadata stored in the program?
Is it for reflection? 
The reason I'm prefering java is that's its much 
easier to maintain than C++ programs filled with
macroes, operator overloading and so on.
Who hasn't downloaded a C++ program from
sourceforge, just to discover that's it completely
impossible to understand the program. If you aren't
careful you end up with a program thats Write Once,
Never Read. But then again it's just my oppinion.
Another reason is that java is now a language thats
learnt in school. When I hire new people almost all 
candidates have java skills.
