Why was you "forced to write" alex@REDACTED?
The example I tried used -sname e@REDACTED for
the Erlang node and j@REDACTED for the java node.
And while I wrote it I tried using the short host
name a'la e@REDACTED and j@REDACTED (but not kirk), and it worked.

That is strange since you can not mix long and short names
in an Erlang network. Perhaps something is not quite
as it should be in Jinterface regarding long vs. short
node names.
