It must be true ! it says so in his signature!! 
I am an enterprise solutions architect in OO Java so a Java micro means a lot to me - if its not true OO then its a waste of time and money. I should end up with a pretty sweet Java API.
I need to learn about I2C though… never used it. oaunds pretty cool from what I have read.
details on the micro that I will be controlling the SSC-32 and the motorcontroller from serially can be found here - it has two conventional serial ports even though it mentions 3. (a DCT and a DCE) the other they speak of must be the I2C.

From here I will have object level abstractions for everything I create. I was very close to changing my micro to the the OOpic and getting the robotic centric features but I read a post from Jim Frye the robot guy about it being underpowered when it came to the arm… so a dedicated controller there in the SSC-32 is a good thing.
Either way I am looking at building a multi threaded java application on my micro handling the serial ports and an xml driven protocol over TCP/IP to handle the remote operation. Autonomous behaviours will come eventually.
