they are probably going to kill Java... in a market segment where it has been chronically ill for years.
Java Enterprise is alive and healthy, thank you very much. No reason to believe that it will not continue to do pretty good for the next decade at least.
It will enter "legacy-mode". The prophecy of Java being the 21st century COBOL will be, at last, fulfilled. Old systems will be maintained and extended as long as they remain useful. New systems will be initially deployed on those platforms but, as new programmers grow less and less familiar with them and thus costlier to train, new technologies will emerge and take its place like Java took COBOL's (at least part of it).
All of this happened before, and it will happen again.
