Stable? Huh. Never thought of Java that way. Dead, yes, but it was never stable. In my experience I have to set up a custom JVM version for every java application I've come across. Is your experience different?
For me, Java died with Oracle shenanigans. I moved to C#. Java isn't truly dead yet but I think it will slowly die off because of Oracle. Same as Solaris and SPARC, but a little slower.
