I don't understand. Oracle didn't "move" to java. They offer intergration with java.

PL/SQL is a "full-featured" language for accessing the database. It is the language of choice. You only use java when you need to do something PL/SQL doesn't accomplish. But, be assured, if java dies, then Oracle can just stop shipping with the Aurora JVM.
