I did not know that.  I worked for Sun about ten years ago (it was 
during the boom, and it was an awesome company to work for).  All their 
internal apps had cute sun-related names.  One app was 
called "solstice" (time entry system), another "sun-spot" 
(travel/expense system).  It became something of a joke wondering when 
folks would run out of sun-related names.
