Mobile and Embedded stuff I think.  I wrote some stuff in it back in October.

I got tired of losing at Wordster at local bars so I wrote an
application in it for my cell phone to contact my Mac at home and find
all the combinations of 8,7,6,5,4, and 3 letter words from the random
8 letters Wordster gives out.

It's pretty easy to write quick apps like that.  I'd much rather have
a phone that could talk 9p though as it stands I had to do a few
tricks to make my phone think the program on my mac was an http server
:-)

Java's naming is very marketingriffic.
