Firstly, as long as there is still a broad need for software engineers - there is a future for Java. Together with dotnet - it has huge market share of enterprise middleware, lots of web backends. Its future in some segments is extremely safe while in others it has more competition. Whether it has a future for you depends on the kind of fields you want to work in. In any case - once you learn a couple of languages (especially from a couple of different paradigms or layers of abstraction) - it becomes easier to pick up new languages.
