As others have noted, java is still quite present in many places...so if your question is leading to whether there are/will be jobs...then likely, yes, there will likely continue to be many jobs in jave for some time to come (mostly because enterprises - the biggest users if java - tend not to replace their java infrastructure unless they really, really have to). However, if your question is more towards whether java is "trendy", then no its not, mostly because as new projects are considered, newer languages are considered too. (Maybe not too new, but still at least newer than java, like Go, etc.) On the other hand, if you want to know if java is as performant as it used to be (as compared to other langs), then i think that merits diving into published performance benchmarks (java vs go vs erlang vs rust, etc.). In my experience, smart teams consider the following thought when undertaking new projects: "Ok, sure language/framework X is faster, but language/framework Y is close enough to performance needs but is way easier to adopt by development staff, easier to be productive in, is easier to hire folks for, and easier to support infrastructure for...so we'll just go with language/framework Y...".
