Sorry to keep chiming in on this thread, but I just do not believe that this will be bad for Java. As a PL/SQL and Java developer, I can tell you that PL/SQL has it's place as does Java. They are both good at performing different tasks. One cannot overtake the other.
On another note, I've watched a lot over the past few years and they have a lot vested in Java and plan to move people off Oracle forms and into Java web applications. There is a definite trend towards the use of Java.
