Please. Java as a language is basically C++ with garbage collection and without pointers. It doesn't even have macros or anonymous functions (without a horrible syntax). Lisp destroys Java.

That being said, the JVM and its libraries are (contrary to Jeremy) fantastic. It's actually reasonably fast (that java bytecode is recompiled to native code under the hood), very portable, and there is a huge set of libraries you can use.
As usual, Loraen doesn't know what he's talking about. Java FTW.
