Nothing to worry about. (Score:2)

I know this is coming a little late, but I finally spoke to a patent attorney about this and he concluded that it's very specific to a very particular testing process having to do with test prioritization. It was rejected by the examiners and rewritten several times.

Also it looks like it's a purely defensive patent on the part of Sun and they have a clean track record.

So nothing to worry about.
