Java has been great so far, just a few hiccups here and there, but nothing that would prevent you from using it, and almost all the problems should be ironed out before you have to use it.

I don't remember where I read it, but I think that C++ is able to run slightly faster than java or labview.

I think that you guys should stick with java personally, because you know it and you will only have to deal with minor changes instead of learning a whole new syntax plus changes during the season.
