Christophe,
there are a few hurdles you have to jump, and you should follow the
manual literally. With that Java is much more suitable e.g. for my
needs, than plugins. Mainly because it's cross-platform portability is
given. I wouldn't use it to write estimation commands. Looking at what
StataCorp itself is doing with it: import delimited, ftp, etc. See
list in this message:
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2013-10/msg00882.html
Being able to create fancy dialogs is another benefit.

That perfectly fits my needs, with one exception Java is not present
in earlier versions of Stata and there is plenty of older
installations out there. So far I carefully weigh the expected
audience and try to keep compatibility a top priority, usually
limiting myself to range of capabilities of Stata 9 or 10, but in a
few years, I expect to fully switch to Java.

Best, Sergiy Radyakin
