I was surprised that java was missing from CS curriculums at University of Colorado Boulder. Roughly 20ish years ago we moved the data structures class to java at the university I worked at. There were a lot of complications(students hadn't learned java previously), and it took some understanding of what the JVM was doing, vs c/c++ where pointers made it very clear what was happening. This was also in very early days of java, just at the beginning of JIT and hotspot.
