Yes it would be useful to know a bit of Java, but I would not go as far to
say beneficial. What Jeremy Allaire said in his speech to the UKCFUG last
week is that we (CF programmers) will not need to know Java to use Neo (the
Java based CF server as opposed to CF5 which will still be CF based). The
advantage of Neo is that it compiles the CFML pages into Java Bytecode and
then runs the bytecode - the pages are quicker than the C++ CF5 version
which uses Just In Time Compilation (after compilation which can take a
while!).
As far as "flavor" (or flavour if we are using proper spelling) of Java
goes, just make sure it's the Sun version of Java (http://java.sun.com) and
not some M$ or other version that doesn't comply to the J2EE standard. I do
not see it as important that you should know Java though. CF5 and Neo will
have CF custom functions which will make everyone's life a lot easier.
