I'm not so sure that Java won't go away quicker than you expect. If most people/organizations are only using Java for "throw-away" projects, then it is not very painful to move on to a programming language which is deemed more abstract, and generally better overall. Personally, I have not encountered any commercial applications or operating systems written in Java. Those domains would probably constitute non-throw-away projects (though some of them should be thrown away). There are many other kinds of non-throw-away projects though.
