A bit meta but... this is a pretty good site for answering the question. Although it will take a few days of keeping up. Follow what sorts of real-world issues Java developers are working on day-in and day-out and you will spot the real trend sans the marketing that comes with other web sites.
You've been a member for a year but have relatively low rep and few questions asked/answered. I would suggest logging in to SO several times throughout the day and read through the Java material flying by.
