Java programmers tend to have longer lists for a few other reasons. For one, the number of available frameworks, IDE's, and other tools is much more significant than other language ecosystems. There really isn't another dev group that has as many tools available between the vendor and open source options. There is also the tendency to name every single Java API - you can't just say you know Java EE (formerly J2EE), but you have to list EJB, JSP, JMS, etc specifically to get picked up by searchers. There are many Java devs who worked with JSP and servlets that didn't use EJB, but when EJB was in high demand everyone listed it anyway.
