The premise wasn't that OP doesn't work with Java. OP's premise was that they won't even use applications that use Java. Which is basically everything.

Not really; OP seems not to want to install some server side thing written in Java, which is fair. I wouldn't want to muck around with it, either.

If someone else has done that (on the other side of an HTTP wall, for instance), I don't care.

Sorry to burst your Java bubble, but no, it isn't.

1. That was obvious hyperbole

2. I hate Java as a language but it is used in embedded systems everywhere. Oh look, another hyperbole.
