Heh...That was so funny. As an Java developer myself, I have to say He is absolutely right!! Usually I am not a fan of analogies, but that cafe one was hilarious.

Regarding the Bouncycastle, I use parts of it myself, but the first time I opened it and it was over 500 files, I just walked away from my computer tearing my hair..!! And that was the j2me version!!
