Java for easy portability, distributing aplications, etc.

With JPovRay, there will not be problem render on 100 normal machines in
Lan (via RMI and maybe in future IIOP)(not needing cluster or cluster
enabled operating system).

There's more benefits. In current state of PovRay this is almost
imposible.

I'm not promiser, i'd like try it.

With pure Java, render code may be slowed, so using JNI (core in C) may
help.
