Do they have any reason to keep the Jave people around any longer? It wouldn't be the first product they abandoned. EE has been given to Eclipse. FX is just forgotten. JavaOne keeps getting smaller every year. The 6 month releases mean they don't are about attracting new users anymore.
It feels like they already threw in the towel. Can more Java layoffs be far behind?
