There's a reason Microsoft is not including Java in XP. And that's because Sun told them to. When Sun settled its lawsuit with Microsoft over Microsoft's implementation of Java, Microsoft agreed to only ship products then shipping or in Beta with Java. XP apparently wasn't in Beta then so it doesn't get a copy of Java. It is however possible to download a JVM from Microsoft's website.
Technically the agreement stated that Micro$oft could use J[ava] V[irtual] M[achine] v1.1.4 for seven years (starting in the year 2000). With this option, Micro$oft could have easily incorporated it within Windows XP and simply prompted its users to upgrade, allowing them to do so if they desired. Microsoft however, decided to stop including Java, as the settlement they reached last year prompted them to create a competitor to java, C#. Read the articles in the links below for more info...
