Java is still massive in corporate software. As in, internal software for corporation's day to day operations. Machinery management, inventory software, point-of-sale applications, floor management, automated finance tracking. Stuff that isn't really cool or talked much about.

And of course there's Java's most important job. Coming up with features and syntax that Microsoft can copy and steal for C#.

Sure, cause c# doesn’t have any original feature’s whatsoever
