I have NO idea. I was in the networking, then security, group back at Sun. This was done in OS/kernel, and you're better off asking that question on developer@illumos. I *WILL* say that Java was hot-and-new, and other components now expunged from illumos, like the DHCP manager, were also written in Java.
