it looks like java will be around for a while butone thing you should know is the knowledge you get from the certification will not be enough to program in java where as the exam is the java basics the reason why i say java will be around for a while is all the extensions of java which are not covered on the exam e.g.
servlets ,jsp,ejb swing(jfc)etc...
and in order to get a good job in java you will have to have a working knowledge of these extensions but the certification is a good first step as it is based on fundamentals and the api which you will have to know to get to the next level
good luck

Prashant,
Java is as powerful as other languages, and more flexible. People are implementing JVMs on really small chips that run outside the traditional computers - microwaves, washer-driers and even in your car!.
Well, I really don't like the anology of milk can in your refrigerator sending a signal to your beeper saying it has expired and needs to be thrown out , however I feel Java has the potential to penetrate into consumer electronics and really add the "interactive" spice to life. I like EJBs, Servlets, RMI etc. But they are nothing new( I can see Java purists rolling up their sleeves to punch me in my face ). Perhaps Java does it better where other languages are clumsy. But the true strength of Java lies in its ability to run on any implemention of JVM, even on your toaster!!

Prashant,
It's anybody's guess. Evolution of a technology depends on a lot of things. But it is comforting to know Java is poised for the growth, it already has the vantage point.
