A;
SAS Base does the great job there. SPSS Modeler as well. SPSS Statistic trial is available at http://www.spss.com.
Java is cool. But you are wasting time with programming. Data-miner has more important task to do than generating tons of code.
Doesn’t (s)he?

I disagree for two reasons:
- I cannot count the algorithms I can give you a understandable description of in 1 minute, but when it comes to a real data analysis you will meet special cases where you have to know EXACTLY how this algorithm is implemented. That is the reason I could never work with non-open source programs
- If you are not able to write code (at least for changing the behavior of present algorithms or create new ones) you restrict yourself to use only what’s available. Are you sure your data mining environment is prepared for every possible data analysis problem ?
@tools: You forgot RapidMiner (former Yale) which does an excellent job in handling large datasets and data preparation (its key focus). It is free, it is open source and it is written in java.
