Maybe for high end, non battery powered and non mission critical stuff. Java is completely inappropriate for stuff that has to run predictably and reliably, mostly because of the memory management model. And it's a resource hog in the domain of sub-MMU chips (like Cortex-M), so it's out of the question for cheap or very low power stuff. And the embedded focus on hardware interfaces means these program won't be portable, either. It's bullshit. Clearly, embedded software has to catch on with times, but this is not the way.
