"I hope they were happy to be named here!"

They have published their views and announced them in person too.
  
"As a matter of interest, who is carrying out the implementation of
High-Rel Java?"

There are two vendors, and there are two rival realtime Java consortiums.

"Is it Sun?"

They are not Sun.

"For what it's worth [..] the license on the Java SDK explicitly forbade
the use of Java on mission or safety critical systems. [..]"

Yes. An explicit example given in a Netscape Navigator license forbade it
for use on the same workstation as one being used in air traffic
management. As for Java, I do not remember if that exact example was also
given.

"(although this may have changed)"

Highly unlikely.
