Ah, I was just quickly reading on the J2EE wikipedia entry and didn't see "Objective" anywhere on there.
You're absolutely right, thank you for clarifying!

No issues, and here is another one, while Java might have a C++ like syntax to make it more appealing to mainstream, its main influence was Objective-C, not C++.

Hence interfaces, dynamic loading, reflection and so forth.

Interesting.
Bringing it back to a previous point I made, I met someone who claimed to have helped port over the WebObjects framework from Objective-C to Java, and he claimed that while it's not a 1-to-1, you can fairly easily map a lot of the Objective-C semantics to Java, making the porting process not that hard.

> By the time DOE, now known as NEO, was released in 1995, Sun had already moved on to Java as their next big thing. Java was now the GUI of choice for client-side applications, and Sun's OpenStep plans were quietly dropped (see Lighthouse Design). NEO was re-positioned as a Java system with the introduction of the "Joe" framework, but it saw little use. Components of NEO and Joe were eventually subsumed into Enterprise JavaBeans.
