Once again, you've obviously been asleep for the last three years.
It's not that there are "no" Java developers, it's that there's a shortage
compared to the incredible demand for them. So guess where that leaves all
your "self-destructing Javapologists"?

"Java's ascendancy over C++ in the job market is a done deal. Java mentions
in January's help wanted ads slightly exceeded those of C++ for the first
time, according to Bloor Research, a British firm that counted 40,000
online advertisements. Java accounted for 37 percent of all ads, doubling
in the past year, while C++ growth was flat. Visual Basic and C also held
steady at 25 percent each.
What's more, Java demand outpaces the supply of available programmers.
Zona Research says there aren't enough Java programmers to fill all the
jobs. Gartner Group estimates that less than half the demand for efficient
Java developers will be met through 2004"
So, roll on Mozilla. May you be as successful as the last thing JTK was
rabidly opposed to.
