what is the future of JAVA?

Well I can recall when Microsoft launched their first spreadsheet program, and they designed it to run on multiple platforms, while their competitor bet on their own OS, DOS that it, and it was a big success for him. Point is, not always portability is the best option at the expense of performance and limitation. I am a big fan of Java, and cant see a way back for me to the .Net world, but as I can see, J2EE is the choice for enterprise applications. Companies need and want secured, stable, and portable applications, and they wouldnt mind investing a bit more in the infrastructure. But for mobile, the resources are limited, and so is the user knowledge, so they desperately need efficien out of the box stuff. I have just started digging into the J2ME gaming world, but I browsed the market and found out the majority are Symbian and .Net. Perhaps java is unbeatable on the server side, but as installable softwares, you can check the market. They are so much less, and cheap in price. Neverthless, I will keep pushing for it from my side, and hope for a prospering future.

Java is one of the most used programming languages in the world; a lot of server applications are built in Java, and many other will be. Even if other langiages will become more populare in the future (but I don't think so) there will be always a lot of work for Java programmers, to maintain old software. So, don't be afraid, your Java skills will be useful.

Hi friend, Java has a bright future.As said by one of friend that java is not just a language but it is a platform.Using java one can don anything and add new things to java also.Also we can think of some innovative way to work on java.There is no restriction on its use and also new things are added continuously to java.

Java is the king of IT field. In Security ,other languages can not over take java.

java is going to be a good programming language in a future but,java is not just the good a programming language. there is many programming language have agood future.
