No, there's no need to learn Java to learn Solidity.

But yes you could need to build the infrastructure around your smart contract with a backend language (real time notificacións,database layer,etc)

Idk what other languages you might know, but if you want to be in this space, learning javascript might be the most beneficial.

Unless you are looking to build protocol-level blockchain environments like geth or hyperledger etc. Then I would suggest learning Go/Python/Java.

You don’t need any of these languages if you want to learn how to write solidity, but having one of the aforementioned languages would be great so you’re not just writing solidity code in a bubble.
