I think, that people are too excited by Java (which is an interesting,
though an oversold language even if free). 
Most people, who are saying that Java is going to replace C++ are
either interested in, what they say, financially or they simply don't
want to admit that they failed to master such a powerfull tool as C++
certainly is. 
Now they are in process to fail to master Smalltalk, when they'll fail
to master Java, they will shout that Jave will be replaced by new
language called IceCream**.
