As prominent as Java is becoming, Sun will have to continue in some form to support the huge code base that exists out in the real world.

Sun can die, but Java can't. Don't worry about that.

Besides there's always Ruby on Rails which might leave Java in the dust anyway.

Sun IS Java. They're the power behind J2EE, the JDK, the whole JRE. If they go, who maintains that stuff, not to mention enhancing it for the future?
