I just don't know.

iPhone/HTC and their ilk don't allow virtual machines. Java works only when using platform-specific libraries wrapped as an executable. But it still works, and its the only choice on some rival platforms such as RIM.

Then there's the server market - what is Oracle's big plan?

Does Java have a long-term future and which industries will benefit from it the most?

As noted the platform independence of Java is very compelling. Unfortunately the purchase of Sun by Oracle has left everyone hanging. I love JSP/JScript and use it extensively with Apache-Tomcat. Proper implementation of JNDI Context makes changing out a back end database about as simple as editing 2 lines in my server configuration file. What works better with a browser across multiple operating systems? Nothing that I am aware of. If Java dies it will be Oracle that kills it.
