Yes and no.

If this script is to be maintained by the software development
team, then Java is probably a very safe choice.

But if the script is to be maintained by sys adm or DBA
or OPS, then it is a completely different context. These
guys most likely do not know Java, but will knows various
scripting languages maybe including Python.

If you give those guys a Java library and Jython, then
they can maintain the scripts.
