Definitely having Java helps. I'm of the belief that any competent dev should be able to pick up Java in a few weeks. Not everyone shares this opinion, and more importantly HR types rely on keyword scanning and will probably throw away a CV that doesn't mention it. As for projects, it's a mix. As I'm not heavily involved in the finance side I can't really say what the mix is. On the media side I'd say it's perhaps 50/50.
