In my opinion, Java is failing because its real problems are not adressed. Instead, vast resources are spent to create a layer which mimics a lot of the underlying OSes features, but does a very bad job at it. A lot of the Hype was about how Java would make an OS obsolete. That made Microsoft the enemy. Wrong Problem, wrong solution.

Before you ask: Top three Java problems: performance, performance, performance.

Cheers,

Oliver.
