They say it's because of timing -- ie because of garbage collection
-- they can't make it a sure thing that it will accomplish anything
in a given amount of time. But they also say that it's not an
admission that it's likely to crash or give the wrong answers.
That's really a JVM issue, not a Java issue -- there are many
languages running on JVM these days.
