well i dont really think that Microsoft can even think of putting JAVA in any kind of troubles.
Interoperabilty and PlateformIndipence are not the only features of JAVA that excells it from .net, but its Excells in every other feature. like J2EE architecture is far more relieble then .net Framework Architecture.. other then that J2ME is used every where in the world, instread of MS mobile kit

so no worries
the time MS wiill achieve Plateform Indepence Java will be far Ahead

It basically exists already (mono)

hmm, we're going to have a weekly "Jav iz ded" thread here as well?
Was kinda missing it, every other Java related site has one and has had one for as long as Java has been in existence.

Mono has still many problems to over come...

/yawn
Hasn't this been hashed out over and over enough? It's really quite tired and you don't have any unique points of insight.

didnt microsoft already bootleg it? like they killed c++ with c# (Which sucks) And then the made like j++ and got sued over it or something. is there any chance (no) that j++ could take over java?

nope, you're wrong on both counts.
C# didn't "kill" C++, and J++ was no replacement for Java. J++ was Java with a custom user interface library.
J++ was created under the terms of the license agreement Sun had granted Microsoft at the time, and fell within that license agreement.
Several years later, when it turned out Microsoft's WFC library was more popular with users than was Sun's AWT, Sun changed the license agreement to disallow the creation of user interface libraries that aren't platform independent and immediately sued Microsoft for infringing on those new terms. This was at the height of the anti-Microsoft craze, so it was easy for them to find a judge who would find in their favour, and they did.

C# will not replace c++ . They are totally different languages.

I don't think that Java is going to disappear completely, but I think that the future of software applications in general will be server based with browsers as thin clients. This mean that the GUI stuff will probably fall into disuse.

This is more for business reasons than programming reasons. And the future will be dictated by what makes the most profit for entrepreneurs, not what makes programmers happy.

From a business standpoint, server side applications are far easier to maintain, and application usage is easier to control and get paid for.
