Abstract
A software suite, 'Java-based Molecular Biologists' Workbench' (JaMBW), has been developed in order to accomplish common bioinformatics tasks, and can be accessed at the URL: http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/JaMBW/. Java implementations are designed to operate on any computer architecture. Furthermore, Java is designed to be independent of the operating system, relying only on the availability of a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) package. JVMs were initially implemented as software, but with the creation of Java processors, they are now becoming available as hardware implementations. One can even foresee that hybrid solutions may appear, in which multiprocessor-based computers are fitted with a Java chip so that the speed of Java-based code is greatly enhanced (apparently by a factor of up to 10 times; Sun, 1996). Java code will therefore not only be completely portable—drastically reducing development costs—but will also have better performance than native C-code implementations. The superiority of the
