Give Manuel a little time to at least pass bata before judging.
Yep - and at least regarding the WinAPI-Calls (which Mr.
McCarthy is trying to tell us, will not be reachable):

Jabaco allows that, because it integrates a JNI-wrapper
(JNI is something like the .NET-pendant for P/Invokes -
it offers to work in an "unmanaged" way, allowing calls to
external Libraries which are not written in Java, also on
the Windows-Platform).

Wondering a bit, why Bill is telling us, that this is a big
disadvantage - one who has decided to use one of the
managed frameworks like Java or .NET should avoid
using the System-APIs - that's why these libs are so huge -
they already encapsulate most of the system-apis in a
platform-independent way (Ok, at least Java and Mono
take this task - platform-independency - seriously).
