If publications are an excellent metric, then java has long surpassed C++. But for some reason the major apps are still written in C++ (add VB and Delphi under windows). Publications are an artifact of Java's popularity, as they have been for C++ and Visual Basic in years past. This demand is also reflected in Java tools and training. Do you think that users care what language is used? Does that help explain why the industry isn't starting over on these multi year development efforts when 90% of machines out there run Windows software? Try using a little common sense. The fact is, Java is dominating new development despite the monopoly of Windows. Major applications are being written for use on networks and internets (or intranets if you prefer the fictitious marketing babble) and they are being written in Java. Despite the Internet, most software developers are maintaining and/or extending existing software assets; the abject ignorance regarding Java's dominance by some of our resident form builders is therefore excusable.
