This is a combination of two interviews conducted at the 2007 JavaOne conference. The first is with Bob Brewin - CTO of Sun Software (the bit that covers Java), and the second is with Dave Hofert and Greg Bollella, a fairly technical discussion about the Java Real Time System 2.0 and real time garbage collection.
