Hi some of my friends are saying that SAP ABAP will be outdated in some years since SAP allowed java for development. Do i need to learn java stack to thrive in the industry ? I am confused.

Hi,
no need to be confused, ABAP will never be replaced by Java, that's simply not possible. Just look at the tons of ABAP coding being in production.
Have a look at this great blog about FAQs: Java vs. ABAP Programming Careers by @Thomas Dulaney:
http://scn.sap.com/community/career-center/blog/2012/04/11/faq-java-vs-abap-programming-careers
Besides that, I've read somewhere ( unhappily can't find the source again ), that SAP is putting the focus back from Java to ABAP.
Regards,
Dirk

Hi
it is not the correct forum to post this question, but SAP is having its own identity and ABAP is a key module witout which devlopment cannot be done.

The question is answered i guess,
but again to consolidate to what all experts said.
ABAP has to stay, it was tryed out, as you heard, ABAP and Java will co-exist,
but dnot forget, even the best car benz gets an upgrade,...............
the best mobile phone gets an upgrade,
why dnot you get an upgrade, top class ABAPer + Java
your market value will increase
