theory'. These will point you to the plugins website which also has lots

<DIV><SPAN class=433492614-30122004>I would not recommend writing an
active-check plugin in java due to the overhead of instantiating the JRE on
each execution. Writing a java daemon that submits passive check results
would work, though.</SPAN></DIV>
