The reason why I wrote c2j was to **leverage** existing C++ code
and familiarity that developers in our organization have with
existing C++ libraries. We experimented with porting some library
code from C++ to Java, and tried to maintain the same interface.
The idea is that we can use the same documentation/training material,
and programmers are free to move between C++ and Java at will.

Having built up **considerable** experience with both Java and C++ , 
I am still not sure for which domain each language is more suited.
We're not talking about small programs, like simple applets. I was
more thinking about real, commercial systems, like the trading
or portfolio management systems we employ within Morgan Stanley.
I am still not sure if we can ever get a reliable, robust, secure
implementation of an "applet" running on thousands of machines
in our heterogenuous network.

Therefore, it will be a while before all this "legacy" code will
be replaced by Java code. Companies like Morgan Stanley, and I
assume JP Morgan also, invested considerable amounts in 
infrastructure software. It would be foolish to even start
thinking about simply replacing all that code by Java. Instead,
start thinking about levaraging your existing software.

Feel free to use the c2j for whatever goal however :-)
