Java is almost certain to penetrate the embedded systems world for a number of reasons:

o It's portable (you can really reuse stuff)
o It's productive (you can write less code and get more done)
o It leads to solid applications (they just don't crash, even during
development, and you can upgrade them on the fly during debugging)
o It means you don't have to constantly retrain for each new target
(abstraction of the platform).


But most compelling is:

o It makes programming fun again (and this matters to Engineers)

The current technical challenges to applying it will be overcome.
