Or you can use Python (my fave), which runs pretty darn near
everywhere Java does.  Or Tcl, with the same results.  Or, frankly,
almost any of the next-generation byte-compiled or virtual-machine
languages that have hooks to connect to system-specific services would
work.  If we're really clever, they could use RFC822-style data files
which libraries exist already for parsing on most of those languages;
if the fields get standardized, then the systems interoperate.
