I'd go with Java. I wrote a bot in Java back when I barely knew any programming, and it wasn't really that hard. C++, on the other hand, would have cripplingly slowed me down -- because it already had, when I tried it as a newbie. Keep in mind, that's when I knew almost nothing and a "LinkedList" was an abstract novelty to me -- I'd written a few games in TI-BASIC and QBASIC 4.5. A few years later, when I was more clueful, I used Java for what was essentially a 2D game and it was nice. Java pros: memory safety, documentation, it just f'ing works. C++ pros: not relevant to your situation. Particularly read frau_dh's comment.
