is embedded still using Java? I remember all the talk about java-on-a-chip in early 2000's (remember tini, "Java-On-A-Chip" from Dallas Semi?), and all the java on feature phones, but it seems all died out by now.

I think the only place which has embdded + java now is one of those desktop/server class PC with gigs of RAM, and multiple gigahertz of CPU, and full-blown linux inside.

Additionally stuff like Cisco, Ricoh, Xerox,... have subsets that run as mini apps on their devices.
