well that is a good question, but c++ is more like a specified programming language. Java is more wide and have more possibilities since you can code your own objects and other things like creatures(that's what i call it) and variables of your own, yes you are about to say that you can do those on c++ too, but not as wide as in java. if you want to find out more about this you should go to java.com or sun.com to look for oppertunities of java.
and here is one good thing you should think about. Games and most of softwares are nowadays made with c++, but java is coming from behind and in a couple of years java will be bigger then c+ and java is also said to be the programming language of future... i have played need for speed most wanted as i said in an other dicussion and in that i got a c++ erro, but when i searched for the answer why it came i found out that they are maby coding with c++ and java blended allready so this is something interresting thing to look how it goes. but i say java is better becouse you cant do websties with c++, but with java you can do those cool looking websites and here we are with more possibilities for java again
hopefully this will tell you why java possibilities c++ possibilities = true and Java=C++ =false

Yes you can create your own objects and data types in C++ as much as you can in Java. It might not be as user-friendly or easy but you can. Java is a great language, no doubt. But you can't say that C++ will get pushed out by Java. It simply won't happen. C++ allows you to have a greater control over hardware operations and lets you optimize them. You can't really find that kind of power outside of Assembly language. Everything you can do in Java you can do in C++ as well...it's even easier now because of .NET. Java is good in it's own right...but so is C++.
