Again, "center of the universe" has nothing to do with it.
My comment was a subtly (too subtle) humorous remark aimed
at the trouble that Java causes in IT shops. It causes a lot of it.
Mostly due to programming errors I believe.
This whole idea of 'transportability' is completely the wrong way
to go about designing anything.
Use the features of the tools you are using.
The thought that anything other than a really small app can easily
be made to run on another database or moving the app from Java
to .Net or whatever, just create more work and sub-par applications.
