i assume by "events" you mean something completely different from the events Windows has been using since v1.0.

I'm pretty sure they want Java people for maintaining existing projects. Roswell:)

I like the Java language itself, but there are things that I think, is causing Java lagging behide. 1.) The marketing of Java use a lot of abbreviations. Most general user won't download something named J2EE. 2.) java app not only take longer to start, but it consume much greater amout of memory compared to .net. 3.) The UI visual appearence is not what most user would be expected. 4.) The default install of java install funny things to the tray and control panel, which, normal user would found confusing. 5.) People look at .NET framework as an addon to Windows, but look at Java as a third party trouble.
Java is alive and well, but I think that won't last. The reason, I suspect, has little to do with .NET or Windows. The language was designed from the start to automate small appliances and smart home devices; it was never intended to become a general purpose programming language. It was and remains an excellent tool for that purpose, but the marketing hype was redirected to make it a one-size-fits-all language. It just ain't so. You can't fix a system that is ill-designed for its job; it must be scrapped and rebuilt from the ground up. Java has grown considerably into a powerful tool, but it will always fall short because of the design philosophy upon which it was based. Unfortunately, it never has fulfilled its original promise because the marketers lost sight of the goal in their zeal to compete with Microsoft. A shame; I was really looking forward to having a smart toaster.
