Rookie Team needs programming help

I'm part of an ex-rookie team(3941), and all of our programming was done in Labview, by one person who has now graduated. Now we have to figure out what programming language to use.

Hear is our situation
C++: probably not

Labview: I do not know very much labview, but what I did learn from last year seemed fairly easy. There was also a lot of stuff already set up for FIRST. However, I did not really like the graphic format, and the code took forever to download.

Java: I know java, but do not know how to program a robot with it. There seems to be much less stuff already set up for FIRST. I like java, and would use it, but it seems much harder to get started with.

Any help much appreciated!
