You could go on? You are at 1/7 so far, perhaps you should quit while you're ahead. How many decades ago were you developing in java professionally? You don't manually build your code, you don't restart your development web server, are you doing your java development in notepad or what? I've been the sysadmin for big java projects, and a developer on them. I've never had any problems with DB access or "classpath/jar file fun" or deployment in either role. I genuinely have no idea what you are even talking about with the "classpath/jar file" thing, it honestly sounds like something someone who has never used java before might make up.
The only valid point you have is that java is slightly more verbose. But of course, it also prevents a number of bugs that slip into PHP code bases, which I find balances it out. And keep in mind, this is coming from someone who finds java offensive, and refuses to use it any more. You're not dealing with someone who is in love with java, but rather someone who thinks java is a terrible language that should never have been made. It is simply not as bad as PHP.
