No, the whole EMC package is not run in Java, only a section of the user
interface. Java, as far as I know, has no features to deal with real time
processing. As long as the program it is talking to has the real time stuff
working, then it would be OK, but the Java component has no knowledge
of it. Now, the trick is that the Java interface can run on a different
computer. But, then, the X-windows interface (Xemc) could run on
another computer, too, and it is almost as portable as Java.
