Seems to me that a heck of a lot of these "periods" have been declared over the last 12 months.

  They all kinda run together into one long ellipsis. However, I think that together it might actually mean something. It seems clear to me that Java is in the waning phase of it's life.

    Waning, perhaps, but nowhere near the end of its life. Despite any waning, it still holds a large enough share of developers and enterprise deployments. Oracle does have the potential to screw everything up (they've already screwed up plenty, imo), of course, and anyone involved in Java right now has to be concerned.

      Oh, I agree, Java has a very long life in front of it, just because of the installed based. However, I think that Java's best days are behind it (much like Sun). The only thing that is left is Oracle trying to extract as much value out of it as possible. (And I think that's a pity)
