That's really totally and completely irrelevant.
So Java is worse than C. We knew that already. It takes more man-hours
to write, results in more lines of code, runs on fewer platforms,
generally runs a lot slower, sometimes even slower than the equivalent
perl code, isn't as secure as its proponents would have us believe, and
lastly and "leastly" most/many/all? of the common so-called java
development environments make attrocious use of the filesystem. It's
all totally irrelevant to what I said.

Your missing the point so completely I don't even know where to try to
pull to get you back on track.
