Of course, the more Java programmers you have (and you have a 
lot), the less you need to pay. A dime a dozen. These are the 
rules of the same market that hypes languages like Java. Ain't no 
rocket sciences. Sure, if you've managed to become a 
software-architecture-project-manager guru somewhere, you'll get 
a good salary. But all the coders from entry to mid level don't 
get that much, because they are "replaceable", as they say.

Another thing about Java (a social aspect) is that everybody, not 
just programmers, have heard of it somehow. So to be a "Java 
developer" sounds good and acceptable. People can vaguely imagine 
some sort of programming / IT thing. It's the perfect job to 
mention to your future in-laws, ha ha ha.
