Other way to say the same on the answers on this thread:
Because MS own the enterprise/market and more exactly, the market for developers. So, apart of MS, what was left? C/C++?
Back in the days, the push of MS for developers was huge. Even in a latin america country (where I live) the MS conferences in a secondary city were huge. Everyone meet there. Even the people that do mainframes, netware, and be part of other communities like delphi, sybase. etc.
So, Java was the first concerted effort that intent to do the same. IBM/SUN/Others start to push for the community (because: How take of C/C++? Nobody). It start to show some kind of documentation, books, examples, etc. And provide a alternative, like everyone else explain here.
In short: Java explode because try harder to be the pepsi of the MS coca-cola.
