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
