Most of the time Sun just used it to advertise OpenOffice which was their own product.

Does anyone remember if Sun at any time bundled adware or other forms of crapware, esp. using deceptive tactics?

Sun Java included either the Google or Yahoo browser toolbar, and IIRC it prompted you about an antivirus program for a while.
