Also if the Kinect part has to be with C++ (which I highly think so) or if it is possible with Java.The third question related to this would be if the part of the Kinect is in C++ and the rest in Java. To conclude I am new with programming (at the moment learning Java, and took a class of introduction to C++) and I was told there was a pre-built robot source code I could use and then modify, if there is where could I find it?

Since the Kinect is USB-only, your team would have to buy a secondary processing board such as the Ras. Pi or Pandaboard to pick up the images and send them over ethernet. It's doable, but it requires a lot more work and probably isn't worth it if you're only using the Kinect's camera.
