Although you're right, one could argue that this is the world you most likely end up in when you "do Java", as most Java job openings seem to list at least one or two of the frameworks you mention, as compared to the job openings for something that would look more like core Java oriented as opposed to "Enterprise" oriented.

I have learned that when choosing a language to specialise in, you also choose the culture around it, which becomes very important when you live in it every day.
