java or c++ whiich way forward????

Java or V.C++ for communications??
I am studying e-communications but I want to specialise in either c++ or Java But which one should i go for???
I have seen so many aplications for java especially in wireless communicatons like Sun’s Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) offers a great development platform for developing applications for the embedded electronics and mobile devices.
Are there similar cases with C++ that any one knows of???

Hi. I really think Java is more easy to use bacause it was created thinking on communications, so it has many features that makes comm. programming easier.
But... I really prefer C++ because it is a lower level programming language that gives you more control over the hardware. C++ is a compiled language, and not an interpreted language (like Java is), what makes C++ programs to run faster, specially if you want to develop programs for embedded && mobile devices. About the development plataforms there is Microsoft's eMbedded Visual Tools, which you can download from Microsoft. (You need to have Visual C++ installed) I hope this helps you.

PD: This is my humble opinion. Others may prefer Java.

Thanks for the reply.I agree with you.The reason I asked this was to get an idea of situations where c++ was used but java owuld be preferred or vice versa.
Any ideas?
