I'm not sure how much I believe this ranking is reflective. Searching for java questions on the web these days yields high quality results very quickly. Many java technologies in use right now have been around awhile and many of the knotty problems have more libraries than you can shake a stick at. Maybe it's more an indication the Java has slowed in forward movement rather then declined in popularity? It's not we've had large new language features in awhile.
Sadly Scala drops in two places below Erlang! With play 2.0 now out; I hope that helps pick things up more quickly.
