Developer fantasy versus operational reality.

A typical friction point in an enterprise where the roles are split.
(which is to say, any with modern code deployment practices)

As a 15 year operational veteran, I have had many run-ins with Java over the
years.  Operationally, it is a very bad design.  Write once-run anywhere was a
lie from Java One.  More like Write Once and shove your problem off on the
operations team.
