Jim Tyrell, a principal architect of JBoss solutions at Red Hat‘s public sector business, has said he observed many government agencies have purchased and implemented the Java programming language in their information technology systems.
Tyrell wrote in an opinion piece published Wednesday on GCN that Java is designed to run on multiple IT systems and has driven the expansion of a Java developer community over the past two decades.
He added these factors can help agencies to address flexibility, speed and efficiency challenges in application development processes.
The number of open developer positions in Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., reflects the use of  Java within the federal IT sector, according to Tyrell.
He said that IBM and Azul Systems are among the technology companies that offer virtual machines based on Oracle‘s Java technology.
