Presumably, Sun doesn't want to be held liable if your software is used in a nuclear plant, malfunctions, and causes a Chernobyl.


Yep, basically if you tell the system to cool the reactor, and the JVM is like, "wait a while, I have to do some garbage collection," you aren't guaranteed that the system is going to cool down when you need it (or other critical things).

The same could hold true for things like Airplane controls, etc.
