Java is a good thing to know, but I suspect that Java-the-language may not have a massive future. It's pretty telling that some of the major java IDE developers are also pushing their own JVM languages (eclipse: Xtend, jetbrains: Kotlin).
There's some interesting stuff going on in other JVM languages, I'm particularly interested in Scala and Clojure.
I think you've provided yourself with an excellent starting point having learnt java, but it would be a bad idea to stop there.
