There'll always be a need for people to support legacy applications, 
but job postings you see now talk about xml, php, Java, ASP, and VB.
As an example, see the survey here: 
http://www.computerworld.com/cwi/story/0,1199,NAV47_STO54574,00.html

For example: 10% of the companies surveyed planned to hire COBOL 
programmers in 2002, while 36% planned to hire Java programmers.

I've seen a good bit of discussion lately that indicates that Java is 
losing its appeal, as well. Who knows whats next?
