And on the server-side, Java is only usable to code WEB / EAI 
applications servers, mainly not as is in core Java but in using lots 
of different frameworks and components to be set-up together witch 
means : Java is mainly used by teams in sharing/storing the work via 
CVS servers, not persons working alone from the begining to the end of 
the life-cycle of a product.

Java is mainly a low-level development paradigm, even if because the 
framworks and J2EE platforms about marketing, all is done to let us 
expect something more usefull and different. The "best thing" with Java 
is that this language is usable by the low-level developers the 
computing and consulting compagnies are prospecting for low costs all 
over the world, in India, Pakinstan, China or Maroco.

In about Desktop apps, Java is just not the tool to use. Too slow, even 
in replacing the Swing libraries by the Eclipse's SWT ones...
