Java and C++ are similar because Java is based upon C++ insofar as they both have a very similar language and syntax. The similarity ends there, however. Java has a much simpler object model and is highly abstract, and therefore provides no low-level architecture routines. Code is compiled as byte code suitable for the Java virtual machine which, although highly-portable, adds an extra layer of abstraction that you don't get with C++, which compiles to native machine code with virtually unrestricted access to the low-level architecture and its features.
