This is why you should just say no to Java. First it's "enterprise beans", next someone is pushing BPM's on you. Don't even try to get away without a consultant.

Java - Designed to feed consultants families since 1995.

It’s not about Java. If there were no consultancies to hire, the management would not be able to hide its incompetency and immature, stupid and strategically wrong decisions on many levels.

My point was that Java fosters and promotes the stupid, immature and strategically wrongheaded thinking of those management sorts. The entire premise of Java from the start was "You don't need to hire smart people now!".

and this "business process manager" thingy is built with Java. A ginormous timesink to hide the fact that nothing of value is being produced. So it sort of is about Java, being the root of this "enterprise" mindset.
