If I remember correctly, I voted for the 5-20 years category. I figured that Java should have at least the life span of C++... or longer. My reasoning, which opposes that of System Mobile Web, is that there are far too many APIs and technologies associated with Java to let it go away any time soon. Add to that the value of open-source software written in Java and the language is sure to have a long and healthy lifespan.

I don't think Java will go away anytime soon either, but the question is when you'll write your last line of it. I like Java, but I'm hoping for more innovation from Sun to keep things interesting.
