Uh-huh.

What part of "don't start" was the complex bit then?

TT doesn't want to know this stuff, she wants a simple list she can give to her dumbo bosses, which has some vague justification in real life, and which she won't get blamed for when it goes pear-shaped.

Which it obviously will, because it's a dumbo assignment.

TT, I'd just list J2EE and J2SE, and quote the "write-once, run anywhere" mantra if anyone questions it. Which they won't, because they're dumb.
