Well at least you got one thing right - applets are most definitely dead. 
But for some reason you ignored all of the other "non-server" deployment 
methods I mentioned.

The future of Java (other than the obvious server-side usages) is IoT.  And, 
I also believe that JavaFX (and hence Java) can be a big player in mobile 
and tablet space when iOS and Android support is viable next year.  It's 
being worked on by both Oracle and the JavaFX community and *will* be viable 
in the short term.

Do you still want to hang-on to your "only server" stance Thomas?
