I think RoR was initially a good thing for bootcamp curriculum because: 1) it is a comprehensive and easy to pick up stack, at least for proficiency at a jr. level that a coding school would churn out in 3 months 2) it was hot at the time of the rise of the bootcamps, so from a marketing perspective would attract top students 3) RoR shops would be more amenable than most to taking on bootcamp grads and continue to embrace a mentor/mentee relationship for long-term success I think largely #3 is the reason for the switch - bootcamps have now been shown to be a valid source for jr. devs and the enterprise is open to it, hence making java curriculum worthwhile - it certainly will scale better. We're still stuck on #1 though...
