Not true, I'm afraid - as was stated above, neither Firefox nor Thunderbird require Java at any point. Besides, we've got a beta of the same Gecko based browser on the N800 and 770 at the moment: still no proper Java.

The updated Gtk+ in Chinook should make porting Java easier, however; but how long we'll have to wait, I dunno.
