Why Learn Java over C++?

807600Jul 9 2007 — edited Jul 13 2007
I've been learning C++ recently but I have also been looking at Java. Java seems to offer a lot of really nice things such as it's JVM, security, and garbage collector. I've tried Java before and I didn't like a few things about it, i.e. getting user input was a nightmare. I also see C++ used in many many many programs. Is Java going to be used in more things in the future? Or is Java just for certain things? Why should I learn Java?
