I was looking around for requests for enhancement related to the use of
large arrays and Collections, but I can't seem to find this stuff
anywhere.

The only related bug reports I see are:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4880587
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6460346
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6292967

All closed, and this one:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4853782
which says it won't be fixed.

Has sun decided we will never need more than 2GB?

No, they've decided that you will probably never need a collection with
more than 2 billion objects in it. Same situation with arrays. I can't
imagine this ever being a problem for most programmers.
