Right..... So you're saying that your code works? Like, it doesn't crash? That's... awesome...

Buzzword bingo does not add value. It only obscures meaning. Of course your code works. Of course you use existing technologies. That work. In existing code. That you leveraged. Using techniques. And technologies.

Jesus, I hate this kind of language.

I think the OP's point was clear, Java has a big library of tested, debugged, robust libraries.
Java does seem to have some sort of strange connection to the business world (which just can't get enough of buzzwords).
Of all the buzzwords available, you chose an oddly benign set to criticize and get worked up over.
He wasn't saying that his code doesn't crash.

He was saying many other people have contributed java libraries his programs can use, so that he doesn't have to hire an expert in HTTP, or computational geometry, or many problem domains that aren't the direct concern of his application, yet are necessary for it to work.

He said it in a compact way. It's a form of compression.
