It is your problem – if you don't like Java, just don't use it, that's all. For many other people Java/JDK is very useful tool for creating the software and building systems.
I personally don't like too much Java desktop applications, I prefer native UI based on Qt/KDE or GTK. But for server-side and command line, Java is perfect language and platform.
