Sometime it is interesting to look at demand. dice.com: Java - 15821 Java and J2EE - 3327 Java and Hadoop - 1405 Java and Tomcat - 1241 Java and JSP - 1194 Java and WebSphere - 980 Java and Android - 953 Java and JBoss - 866 Java and WebLogic - 791 Java and Struts - 702 Java and "Spring MVC" - 518 Java and EJB - 423 Java and JSF - 394 Java AND "Java EE" - 331 Java and Servlet - 256 Java and JAX - 192 Java and Swing - 127 Java and JavaFX - 19 There are definitely overlap and job ads are infamous for not being accurate regarding skills requirements. But I think it still demonstrate that desktop apps is a niche in the Java world. Java EE is number one. And Android and big data are number two and three. Arne
