Is it more difficult - sure, it is no longer good old plain jsp + jdbc days.
Yes messing with faces, having really ugly stack of open source frameworks right now is not fun.
(Also I have hopes for some good JSF2 faces).
Right now constantly editing xml files even visually is insane.

Long time .NET guy that has mandated to work with Java.
Call me biased (which i most obviously am), but C# and .NET is so much more fun to code in than Java. I got used to so many .NET features that Java just doesn't offer me.
- LINQ
- ASP.NET MVC
- Lambdas
- Properties
... the list goes on.
I feel like working in Java after .NET 3.5 is taking a step backwards in the evolution of software development. But like i said, that's my heavily biased opinion! I'm a .NET fan.

I have completely the same opinion,
Well as I am still student and I had a chance to study in couple different countries(Spain, Czech Republic and France) I have to say that Java is much more used at the academical level (at least here in Europe) than any other language (sadly)
I have done 2 different types of enterprise projects
1) Netbeans - EJB 3.0, JSF, and JPA
2) Eclipse - Spring, Hibernate Apache Tiles and JSP
Hard to say which one was better, maybe Netbeans is a bit easier to user but Eclipse has much more plugins and ones you learn to use it you might prefer it.
The Java world makes me confused there is so many frameworks and so many acronyms starting with capital "J" that it is really dificult to see what is important to learn and what will soon be forgotten. There is neither much of evolution of the language neither clear future.
Now I am working with Spring & Hibernate and I am tired of XML configuration hell and too much missing LINQ for simple queries, creating GUIs with old JSP and the JSTL tag library...I would just taught that there are easier ways to do the things...
To the list that you had mention I would add:
- WPF/Silverlight
- nowadays RX and coming Asynchronous programming
Ofcourse I am .NET fan and I am biased

... and I am happy about that.

I've done my whole 4yrs at university programming in Java even though I was a .NET guy. In every classroom, I would advertise a .NET feature that would have done things better and people became pissed. To them, Java was WAY better than .NET because it was portable. Damn.. it enraged me so much.
Now, most of them have a job where they don't work in Java because portability is probably the most useless software quality in the real world. Cost of maintenance, cohesion, development time.. now.. that's important.

Cold coffee?
A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'.
I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

Are you sure? I heard, it now belongs to Oracle.

So is it something to predict the future then ?

Yep. Java's future does look a bit less bright since Oracle came.

Maybe Oracle's future does look a bit dark because of java :P

Certainly. They have been at war with Great Fenwick for centuries.

The capital of Indonesia is Jakarta. Java is the main island of Indonesia, where Jakarta is located, though.
