I think Google legitimately believed nothing was wrong with their implementation of Java and that implementing a language with so many developers was a smart move.

Gosling stated otherwise on his interviews, and Rubin emails also prove they were trying to do something fishy.

As it stands, Android has pulled a J++ and is a pain for any Java library writer, that now is forced to either write two versions or keep using a common subset.
