I have to agree with Bruno here, Java isn't going anywhere soon. It has an
active community, corporations that very actively support it, and an open
source effort that's probably the largest of any language (check out the
Apache Foundation project lists). Toss in Clojure, Scala, Groovy, and their
friends that can build on top of Java libraries, and you wind up with a
package that isn't becoming obsolete any time soon.
