I thought that too - not about Java per se, but similarly that "getting this app server running is designed to be easy."
Then, I had to help someone debug an issue with installation over the phone. That was the exact moment I decided to look into containers, and I've never had to re-live that tedium since.

I do agree with you here, but I think that's a people issue and not a tool issue. The tool itself is quite valuable even for simple cases.
- taeric 8y agoI have had to relive the tedium of installing docker images on a coworkers machine. Can be more than a little infuriating when there is no obvious reason things that should be equal are not working. Especially when that is the goal of the system. And agreed it is a people thing, mostly. I'll even go further and say it is the way things will be soon. I just don't think it is doing anyone favors to pretend previous solutions didn't solve things. Or to pretend that modern solutions solve everything that ever came before. There are plenty of problems to go around.
