Guys,

Java was discussed here at some length a while ago:

I just posted it FYI - you can make your own judgments as to whether or not Java is a Good Thing in general, or in your application, and whether this particular implementation is any good.

As I understand it (never having used it), the Big Thing about Java is its platform-independence and Portability.
These are generally not the Biggest Issues in embedded stuff.
