I don't know, Java is such a new untested language, I'm not sure anyone will choose it for CGI programming over C, or maybe something like Perl.
[outside of kayfabe, Java was really first released in May 1995, only a few months before this press release, and was mostly used for applets and desktop applications (building a web browser!) - server side usage came a while later]
