This is usually the case. ÂEvery time I've had to do anything with Java it's because the engineer leading the project learned it in school and it's what they knew. I was willing to bet that this was the case where but I'm glad you said it.

I've only allowed a java service on any of my servers once and it's because there was no other options. Having said that I hope you well.
