Give that Java is written in C++ which is in turn an extended version of C, I'm not sure that chart is entirely to scale.

  That is no argument in this discussion, IMHO - what does it change? The discussion is about the language (and in case of Java, the runtime) and it's machine abstraction, which is nearly the same for Java and C, even if JVM was written in Lisp.
