I think Sun is looking to make Java more attactive as they get new languages running on the JVM. Jython and JRuby are heading that up from what I can tell. I think we will continue to see good things come from Sun over time. Mixing scripting language style syntax, with the power of Java (1.5, 1.6 etc) and the new Framework support, makes it a fair opponent of .NET in the "Clash of the Titans".
