Sun is all about JAVA. While they might try to tell you that they have a diversified portfolio of strong products in the server market, you should also know that the server market evaporated along with the economy. Sun realizes this and has expanded the software division into three components. I'm most interested in the Application Platform Software division, which will oversee Java, MySQL, and Glassfish.

Nothing happen to Java, Java is Free and Open Source. Someone will take the lead and move on.

I hope Sun the best, but if Sun goes south it won't spell disaster for Java. Java is open source (GPL + classpath exception). IBM, RedHat/JBoss, HP, Oracle, Google, and the open source community will keep Java moving forward. Unlike VB6, PowerBuilder, and a host of other dead languages/runtimes, Java is open and so it has a life of its own regardless of Sun's condition.
