There are "free software" implementations of Java compilers and of Java
Virtual Machines.
Are there suitable "free software" implementations of _all_ the
libraries that you will be needing to construct the admin tool?
In particular, can you direct us to a free software implementation of
Swing?
I doubt that you can, and _that_ is the characteristic problem with
Java. The language is "free enough," but the libraries you will want to
use aren't...
