ok, this will be my last post in this thread as its getting a bit embarrasing. But for the record, counter strike and counter strike source are old games. I played it when it was released in 2004. And TF2 is from 2007. Ok, bug fixes and amendments keep rolling in, this doesn't make them new games though 
No, I'm saying that quite alot of opensource projects are treating java as a second rate citizen because of its "roots". And im saying that ignoring one of the top-3 most used languages on the planet, mostly out of principle, sends a pretty clear message
All the best,
