I was working for Sun during those days. They used to have this vision that everything would be written in Java. They threw everything at that wall, and ran with the ones that stuck. I've been in presentations showing all kinds of things being rewritten in Java just because apparently that was something that needed to be done. I particularly remembers seeing a NIS (YP) server and and NFS server in Java. When I asked why they did that, and particularly why they didn't go for NIS+ (which was many years old at the time) or event LDAP, they had no answer.
