Absolutely, its the second most used language on github: http://githut.info/

that list is a nice guide on what you should learn in general.

Once learned compliment it by learning Scala.

Java let’s you do most of the work, Scala let’s me produce elegant enough solutions that the complexity means I have job security. Thus, if you’re learning Java for career reasons, Scala seems to be a natural compliment.
