Does it have to be? Java is a hybrid paradigm language. It's perfectly fine to write data-oriented code. And if you're using an anemic model, there's no point paying the overhead price of fully fledged classes.

I meant, if you want to evaluate OOP by itself, you can't use things that break the paradigm. Java broke that probably because they realized OOP isn't always a good idea, after sticking to it up through v7.
