Java / SunOS Security question

Hi,

I have a question about the Java that comes with the Solaris 9/10 OS.

All my boxes are servers, only ssh allowed, no x windows, hardened, firewaled, etc...

Their purpose is Oracle DB's and Sun One Dir servers. None of which use the OS version of Java as far as know.

Question IS, can I just delete Java off the system all together?
Does the Operating system itself use Java at ALL if we are not using X windows?

Thanks!

If there are any Solaris packages that rely on the Java packages when you try to pkgrm the java packages you will be warned about which packages depend upon it.
I am aware of Solaris commands that use perl but not any that use Java
