I ran across these two articles today:

• InfoWorld: SAP to buy Sybase for $5.8 billion
• InfoWorld: SAP co-CEOs lay out ambitious technology plan

If SAP does buy Sybase that will put them in line with Oracle as far as owning both the database platform and the Application part.  I don’t know that much about SAP, but I was thinking they used Java in their framework.  I am curious about their feeling on Oracle owning Java.
