Java programs may have a slow-startup, but why is it a negative for a
long-running server program? The required JVM is included in the yum repository
so installing isn't an issue and it seems like a big plus if you use the remote
monitor feature (works via RMI). Also OpenNMS has had a lot of development in
the last couple of years. Maps are in the core code, much more configuration can
be done through the web interface, lots of ajax-y stuff to make the interface
easier to use, many more devices included for auto-recognition, etc.
