I like java but-  downside (Java and/ or jedit):
1. Try running a java app on a low powered pc.
2. Jedit requires a GUI.  vim doesn't

Other than that, Jedit is fast, powerful, capable, extensible... Like I 
said, if I didn't use vim, Jedit would be it.

As far as Sun goes, I have no problem with them except that sometimes it 
is hard to work out which direction they are heading in.
