> Java has a long tradition of reimplementing things in Java rather than relying on system libraries. Er, that’s kind of the point of the Java Virtual Machine… It keeps you from tying your application to a particular system architecture. I’ve noticed that JVM administration tends to fall into the “no man’s land” between devs and admins: Devs figure that the Admins will take care of it, and Admins are annoyed that they need to use a separate set of tools to admin the Java apps (and are not eager to learn them.)
