 #The code base doesn't take advantage of the possibility of threading for multiple CPU's. Dual core cpu's are now standard on everything. Quad cores are common on servers. If code is threaded the JVM can easily make use of these extra cores. Additionally many parts of the code base are currently not thread safe.
 #Most of the code is not bean-like and therefore cannot easily be used in any of the modern Java EE frameworks such as Spring or Hibernate.
 #Equals, compareTo and hashCode methods are inconsistent and often inaccurate, e.g. customised to suit a certain behaviour pattern (e.g. the BJX extensions assume that nulls are allowable for the purposes of Hibernate, whereas really they shouldn't be and Hibernate doesn't need them either).
