java vs. IDL [message #22374]

Lately I have been learning java to address a number of modeling issues
where I work. I have also been playing around with IDL for about 3
years. I do not claim to be a master of either. It seems to me,
however, that Java offers many of the same features that IDL offers
(cross platform operability, a constantly growing library of functions,
easy to implement gui's) along with some definate advantages (it's
free, it's easier to learn, larger user/programmer base, completely OO)
It makes me wonder whether IDL will be able to hold its own in a Java
world. Could anyone out there with experience in both languages care to
spectulate or at least enlighten me as to why IDL will always have a
niche?
Thanks.
