I'd say Java.
Java is easier to get a hang of, and is a nice introduction to Object Oriented Programming (OOP). It also doesn't feature the relatively difficult memory management of C-type languages.
However, this all depends on what you want to do with it.

How about learning C sharp.

Java - awkward virtual stack machine, low performance, managed, garbage-collected (simplified memory management)
C++ - you'll necessairly stumble upon C functions and memory management, which could easily lead to memory leaks and is in general harder to maintain as it's not garbage-collected
Your call whether to choose simplicity or performance.

To put this in aerospace terms.
Learning C++ as the first language is like putting you alone in the cockpit of a Space Shuttle just as you begin the re-entry manuevers and calling it a "trainning mission".
Learning Java as the first language is putting you in the co-pilot chair of a personal plane in control of a seasoned instructor who will slap your hand should you try and do something inordinately stupid.
