I get the impression that many are database and XML related and few are GUI
related. That surprises me: I thought cross-platform GUIs were a major
selling point of Java.
I won't pretend to know what everybody is doing, but from where I sit,
the primary advantage of Java is cross-platform *server* software (i.e.
J2EE servers or web containers) running on anything from low-end PC's
to heavy server iron.
You then make rich clients for your server application, but they are
typically for a specific customer who are happy to specify, e.g.,
clients to run on Windows with a screen size of 1024x768.
