I think it would be dishonest if the agreement was that the software should be built in Java - but to me, this reads more like an operational concern. The client felt comfortable with a software package they can deploy on the JVM... but that doesn't necessarily mean they cared whether it was written in Java. If I were hiring a dev for a Java project, I'd explicitly hire a Java developer, not just someone who promised a product which would run on the JVM.

If my auto mechanic replaced a part in my car with something that worked basically the same but cost me a lot of time and money and hassle to fix when it breaks down the road, I’d be pretty upset, especially if he strongly implied that he replaced it with a normal part.
- trimbo 8y ago> I think the point is the client might not be sophisticated enough to realize there’s a distinction there Yup, that's exactly my point. Your car analogy is a good one. I was going to make a similar one with house construction but you've hit on it well.
