"why the F did sun decided to use Java for every blessed thing"
I too have wondered this. As my Sparcle is only a 650, I am a non-Java fan.
My best guess is that they do it as a marketing thing: "See, Java can do XYZ too!".
Take the Sun SPOT. It is a microcontroller of somesort (I think). Sun wrote the *drivers* in Java. Just because they could, rather than it being the best language for the task at hand.
