My experience is that starting up a Java program appears to take longer
than a non-Java program, although with each Sun release and with the
OpenJDK that situation appears to be getting better. But your point is
well taken that the simplest approach is the preferable approach until
it can be verified that the startup time does, in fact, have a negative
impact.
But this appears to be moot since the JDEE community has addressed the
problem and might already have a solution.

Yes, it is a parsing and analysis program.
