these are properties of a poorly designed project, and isn't due to it being java.
You may be able to causally link the failure to the people on the project being "incompetent" - but that's not really the fault of java!
i say java is a pretty good language, if you have large teams, with varying levels of competency amongst the members. As long as you have somebody good to do the overarching design and direct the project, it would do relatively OK.
if you have a small, elite team, then it may not be the right choice (depending on the team).
