It's utterly absurd to refer to Java in any form as an irrelevant and transient language. On the contrary, it is quite mature, and unlike *any* other language is as close to being cross-platform as possible. There is no valid excuse for not supporting it, and Nokia sticking their head in the sand and ignoring it would be a very serious mistake. As time goes on, we are headed for "cloud computing" and other technologies which require interoperability and exclude proprietary technology. Java is the future, and companies that ignore it sooner or later are going to find themselves ignored...
