But obviously such code should be subject to security restrictions and should not be easily invoked. I bet it leads lot of rich applications in Java with media capabilities and ability to build a lot of system tools.

It doesn't look to me that Sun "suppressed" something more substantial over all that time. Since February the project has been improved to actually be usable in real-world scenarios (see the rabbit hole link for some examples, including the shaped/transparent windows, which are also included in the JNA examples).
