Joerg. It is part of the spec:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Java_software_support
"trade show, it was announced that Sun Microsystems' Java
cross-platform software environment would be included in all Blu-ray
Disc players as a ****mandatory**** part of the standard."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BD-J
"All Blu-ray Disc players supporting video content are required to
support BD-J."

Java is required, thus it is important. I'm smart enough to know that
Java is just data on the disc and doesn't actually affect the media
format itself.

The point is, Sun's involvement is at that level. Be happy and move on :)
