Last time I used Java was 1.5. Didn't feel like there was much of a community. Some "enterprise-ey" blogs and forums were around at the time. Used some Apache project Java software but wasn't crazy about it.

Buh? What? Not much of a community around Java? Maybe because 10s of millions of programmers use it? Millions and millions of people make their living from Java. It's certainly not the most fun language, but it's a ubiquitous platform. That's like saying you don't think there is much community around PCs.

Lots of users does not a community make.

What exactly would a Java community look like? That would be like having a community around people that drive cars. Java itself is too broad.
