"Portability is the most important thing, it IS the matrix after all."
matrix-RAD is written in fully portable Java, with Java Native Interface (JNI) stuff written in C for anything
that requires it. Unlike Java itself, we will not just stick to the lowest common denominator, but
will use the unique features of each OS as appropriate with JNI code. As many OS's as possible will be
catered for, which means that Java 1.1.5 has to be used. Support for Java versions less than 1.2 will be
dropped after 2008.
Note that because of the heavy reliance on reflection, the JVM must support that. It's all done with mirrors.
