I doubt it. I certainly hope not. While I appreciate the pain you are
feeling, the Microsoft JVM used to be a reasonable choice but has been
obsolete for so long that it is now relatively speaking an awful item of
code. It's _very_ insecure and absolutely does not support the current JAVA
platform specs at all properly.
