I have seen postings that question the importance of the SCJP because of the (claimed) high incidence of cheating. Do you think the SCJP still carries a lot of weight in hiring decisions or has it become devalued in the eyes of employers?

But what about those who passed by any foul mean, are they carry any knowledge of Java. This big IT companies HR people are too lazy to evaluate the prospective employees knowledge by actually throwing some 2- 3 programs to write. They hire and clients (who dosen't knew anything about possible fraud/cheating done in getting a Java certification, what they knew is and blindly believe "Ohh that's guy on our project carry Sun Certificate, wow", but truth is dirty..
But I'm optimistic, somewhere down the line SUN introduces some real programming part which exam taker has to sit down and write.

I don't believe that job interviewers will say "Hey, he's got a certificate, now I don't need to ask him any questions anymore!".

If you know nothing about Java and cheat yourself into a certificate, you will be embarrassed sooner or later - maybe during the job interview, or if the job interview was done really badly and you did get the job, your colleagues will discover after a while that you really don't know anything.
