I am quite experienced with PHP though, which is very similar, syntax wise.
Maybe I'll look at Java too then but the first time I saw Java code, I couldn't make any sense out of it. :pp
Ah, I didn't realise you didn't know much C++, my advice would be to steer well clear. I'm currently doing a module of C/C++ and I'm finding it all a bit of a nightmare with pointers, references and no garbage collection. If you take another look at Java, the syntax is very close to C++ (Algol-like syntax? I forget) but has a lot more built-in error checking and the garbage collection makes life so much easier.
