devkitARM is a C and C++ toolchain, so no... there is no way to use Java I'm afraid.

C++ and java are similar... You won't find it hard..

Btw, for my personal experience I learn c/c++ before java (J2EE/J2ME) in 4th semester...

libnds does a lot for you, in fact, and it's implemented as a set of C function call.

The point is, you can even code in C, and forget about the ++: OO design stuff, templates and other C++ goodies. There is nothing wrong not going with an Object Oriented approach.

Java gave you the basics of the C language syntax. Just get familiar with pointers, struct and bitwise operators and you'll be fine.
