Java Enterprise Software Land has always been a weird alternate reality where they only care about specific Experience, Experience, Experience. They don't care that you're super smart with a wide and deep software background -- all they want to know is whether you've used J2EE Frobenator version 1.35 before or not. Solution: get the hell out of Enterprise Java Land. (The above opinion was formed by watching out of work scientific programmers trying to break into the Java world, and discussions with Enterprise Java manager types.)

As a Java Enterprise architect/developer/hire-ee/hire-er I have to disagree. I've worked at a large number of places, and as long as you have relevant experience, and are smart, that's usually what people want. I don't care if you've used the exact thing we do, as long as you've worked something similar and understand the basic concepts involved.
