Thanks for the link.

Just ploughing through a few of these they all seem to be in the US. Is that
representative of Java or just of this website?


It is a US job site, so surprisingly it has only US jobs.

You will need to find the similar job sites for other countries.

I can give you one for Denmark www.itjobworld.dk - but it need someone
that knows the country to know what the right web site for IT jobs
are.

                                                Does Java have a higher
market share of languages in the US than it does in Europe?


I don't think so.

I would expect countries with many small companies to use a bit less
Java than countries with fewer big companies though.

There are lots of foreign keywords: JSF, EJB, Struts, JSP, RDBMS, ESRI
GIS/ArcIMS, ArcSDE, JDBC, Spring, Hibernate, iSeries...


You can look them up in Wikipedia. It is basically either standards
or products with some relevance to the Java world.

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.


Most Java GUI's are web GUI's.

Desktop GUI apps are made (the keywords are: AWT, Swing and SWT), but
web GUI's are more used.
