4 years after, I still don't understand!

Why does everyone hate Java so much?

To me it seems like it's got it's strengths and weakness like any other language.

I'm aware of it's weakness but I don't think that the amount of hatred upon the whole language is justified.

You don't understand. It's not trivial to convert from signed to unsigned in Java. You have to use a larger signed-type, which involves sign/zero extension and eats up twice as much memory. To support 32-bit unsigned values in Java while retaining unsigned semantics during comparison, you have to use a 64-bit signed type.
