Java's an easy language to learn and use, especially if you're building GUI apps and crossplatform software. This is the main reason a lot of universities are making the switch from C++ to Java. Easy learning curve for the students, no messing about with makefiles and crossplatform compatibily. It was exactly the same at my university.
Too bad Java's worthless once you get out into the real world. A little tip from the front trenches: keep learning C and C++ if you're aspiring to become a "real" programmer and want a job in the field. If you don't care for becoming a code monkey, and just need to pass your programming courses, stick with Java only and spend the time you'd save by not learning C drinking with your mates.
