Kill the Java browser plugin. Also, delay by another year and use the opportunity to bring in Jigsaw. Lambdas are nice, but in the big picture, Jigsaw is huge.

what does jigsaw bring to the table? what does its existence imply?
Read about it and ask more specific questions: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/
I had no idea this existed. This would be nice. I used to like Java's packaging, until I was introduced to better methods of packaging, like Ruby, Python, etc... Glad to see that this is on the table.
Seems pretty likely that Jigsaw will take > 1 year to complete.
