If possible, fire 490 of them, and switch to a saner language. Quintuple the salary of the remaining ten, and pocket the difference.

Sorry, but the director of product vision, who's my boss (as dictated by a complicated blame-shifting matrix of dynamic management) heard 12 years ago that Java is a good language for the kind of things he thinks we're probably building. He even gave us an incomplete UML spec to get started with!
