I've been in Java dev for a long time and am not starting my engines on it. It may still be where most of the jobs are, but I'd rather be where the jobs will be. I'm betting it will be a dynamic language, despite the arguments for stronger typing. JRuby is a good in-between as it is a dynamic language that allows you to leverage the JVM and Java investment. But, SpringSource (part of VMWare, which is part of EMC) has been betting a few years on Grails. JRuby has an advantage over Grails because Ruby has been around long enough to have quite a bit of gems and plugins available. Who knows if either will be dominant in 10 years, though.
