Java technologies

[Quoted] [Quoted] I've seen in the last months (or even years) a lot of effort of [Quoted] Oracle to develop products and technologies based on Java, but I still feel very unconfortable with them, and I just couldn't use in any real project. First of all, because I found them very complex and there is a lot of new things to learn (in fact, every other day it seems that is something new to learn...), secondly because I could not see how use it effectively. I am talking about Jdeveloper, J2EE, OC4J, BC4J, XML...

I would like to know if someone succeeded in using such technologies in the development of application systems.

I don't mean web applications (for which the java platform is surely excellent), but applications in which you would use forms and reports ("traditional" applications)...

In other words, I am afraid I am "getting behind"... Should I be using some more advanced technology, or such new technologies are not still mature?

By the way, today I am using Oracle Developer and Powerbuilder for c/s applications, and Servlets/JSP for web applications...

Thanks
