This just in from the Facebook-PR-flacks-writing-pure-dross department:
"We appreciate all of the effort and time that you've (Java developers, that is) invested in working with us, and apologize to anyone that this change inconveniences. However, we hope you recognize that this is being done with our main goal in mind- improving the overall Facebook Platform experience for users and developers alike"

Facebook has actually dropped support for their own library:
"To this end, we have decided to discontinue support for our official Java client library, and rely on the existing community-driven libraries to fill this gap."
There are a number of open-source community driven Java libs.
I really don't think it's a big deal. Facebook is largely PHP-based, so not supporting another platform is fair enough. Us Ruby programmers have had to use community projects from the get-go :P.
