It depends on what you're trying to do. Front-end Java (applets/webstart) is dead. But on the server, or even some embedded devices, Java is working fine.
I'd like to ask 'why not' - Java is supported, fast enough for lots of applications and a great ecosystem of third party libraries.
- seinecle 5y agoJSF is a front end framework for Java and is in good health AFAIK
- bzzzt 5y agoIMO any stateful server-side framework is in trouble nowadays since scaling them involves passing this state around which is a headache compared to current REST/GraphQL backend + Javascript framework stacks. Oracle seems to keep peddling JSF for stuff like internal business apps, but I've not seen any development around the framework itself in recent years. It's been a while since I've seen a public site built with JSF too.
