-----> There is nothing called as complicated
language, if you dont know java and try to use it, it
is complicated, or else not, so some thing complicated
for you may be easy for some one else. You need to get
your requirements first, and try to use the right
technology rather then go crazy about it,

------> I guess studies are financed by some one, so
unless you do your own study dont make any conclusions

----> java implementation can be very simple, as a
matter of fact since you can have your own scripts and
jar files to make it simple, look for tools like ANT,

----> I dont see this can be answered as yes or no, or
very easy to compare, it depends on what you wont to
do, if you are planning to develop operating system,
java is not the tool i would use, C++ will be the
choice, but if you have web site, then java and asp
can compete, and then depending on your forte select
the one you want,

Hope this helps, these type of things happen due to
various factors, like relcutance to change or learn
new things is the main factor i see for making these
kind of noise...
